Within the church’s interior, visitors will see ornate frescoes and a wooden cross above the mantle. Also of intererst are a copy of the Holy Gospels dating back to 1872, and a liturgical pamphlet from the 19th century. Near the monastery lie the remains of an old watermill which supplied the village of Christos with water.
