Marmiroi Church
Kisha e Marmiroit
A 13th-century Byzantine chapel on a lagoon shore near Orikum, built as a stone cross-plan structure, surrounded by olive trees and a peaceful lake view.
Marmiroi Church sits on a small hillside by the lagoon, south of Orikum. Built in the 13th century, it is a compact Byzantine stone church with a cross-shaped plan, a dome and a few traces of wall paintings, and it is listed as a cultural heritage site. The setting is quiet, with olive groves and lagoon reeds around it, and it pairs well with the Oricum Archaeological Park. You can reach it on foot from the parking area in a few minutes. It is usually locked, so the visit focuses on the exterior. Free to visit.
