The church of Prophetis Ilias
This small church is on the top of a hill, north of the
Sacred Way and 2 km southeast of Daphni. It is a
vaulted basilika, initially 4x7.4 m, probably post-Byzantine.
Some 10th-11th century sculpture may belong to an earlier
building. The church was an annex of Daphni.
In the mid-19th century the church expanded to the west
and a chapel was added to the south. D. Kampouroglou
visited the church in 1881 and met the only resident of the
area.
The church of Agios Georgios
This post-Byzantine church lies 1.1 km northeast of
Prophitis Ilias and 0.5 km northwest of Palataki. It is a
vaulted basilica, 4.5x10.4 m, known for the murals painted
by Nikephoros Lytras, possibly with the aid of Nikolaos
Gyzis in the 1850s.
