Church of Agia Paraskevi - Tempi, Tempi

You cross a large metal bridge that leads to the cool place by the river. The temple is built in the rock itself, and next to it there is a narrow passage in the rock at the end of which there is a spring that flows into the river.

On the road from Thessaloniki to Larissa you pass through Tempi Gorges, there you will find one of the most popular temples in Greece, a trademark of Tempe Valley. Most of the travelers stopped and worshiped at this place. Built near the riverbed in a beautiful location.

In the past everybody stopped here on their way to Thessaloniki, now if you decide to come here you have to pay 1,60€ to get off the highway and go back in again.

One of the most popular temples in Greece, a trademark of Tempe Valley. Most of the travelers stop and worshiped at this place. Built on a cliff, near the riverbed in an imposing location.

This chapel is not advertised to foreign tourists, but it is a very important pilgrimage for Greeks and other Orthodox peoples. The church is partially located in a cave, and underneath it lies a small cave with a spring with holy water of Agia Paraskevi. The cave is so small it can only take one visitor at a time, and be prepared to crouch while entering. All in all, a very nice place to visit if you are in the area, with good access, parking, a tavern and a lot of souvenir stands. You should expect big crowds on religios holidays, esp. on July 26.
