Colour photographic view of the settlement of Panagia (Chora) on Irakleia, photographed by N. Kontos. At the centre of the composition can be seen two churches: the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin with its blue dome and a smaller church with a barrel-vaulted roof and triple-arched bell tower above the entrance. The village’s white houses are scattered among abundant vegetation of pine trees and prickly pears, while in the background stretches the island’s barren hilly landscape.
