Next to Axedianos River and close to settlement Pirouniana we meet the Byzantine church of Saint George Hostos. The original building had a dome and later it was extended. The part with the dome bears frescoes in poor condition.
The wider area is beautiful and the green Axedianos River creates a nice waterfall next to the temple till spring. The visitor gets impressed by the old watermill near the temple.
