Church of Agios Achilleios in Pentalofos
The oldest surviving building in the village (1742), this listed monument captures the 18th-century spirit of Voio: an imposing basilica with a jewel-like carved iconostasis and frescoes featuring rare themes. Particularly striking is the depiction of Alexander the Great in the Second Coming, flanked by Cyrus, Pyrrhus, and Darius — a composition rich in symbolism and artistic boldness. The church once served as a shared place of worship for the villages of Pentalofos and Vythos. Today, it celebrates its feast day on the feast of Agios Achilleios, on May 15th, as well as on October 26th, on the feast of Agios Dimitrios — to whom the chapel is dedicated.
