Δίπλα στο μικρό φράγμα της Κεράς στο χωριό Ίνι συναντάμε το γραφικό ναό της Παναγίας Κεράς που είναι αφιερωμένος στην Ζωοδόχο Πηγή. Ο ναός δε φέρει τοιχογραφίες στο εσωτερικό του. Δίπλα στο ναό υπάρχει ένα μικρό διαμορφωμένο σπηλαίωμα με πηγή με νερό που θεωρείται αγιασμένο.
Στη Μαθιά Πεδιάδος βρίσκεται ο μικρός ναός του Αγίου Γεωργίου κρυμμένος ανάμεσα σε ελαιώνες και σε σημείο που χρειάζεται περπάτημα σε σύντομο μονοπάτι. Ο ναός είναι μικρός, μονόχωρος και καμαροσκέπαστος, όπως οι περισσότεροι Βυζαντινοί ναοί της περιοχής.
