Very beautiful church up several cobblestone streets. If you have trouble walking this trip may not be for you. Very hot/humid during Summer months but a definite see if on the Island of Lesvos. I found the town quite charming and very authentic.
This church is the second church/monastery that you have to visit. It has a miracle ikon of Virgin Mary which is believed that was brought from Jerusalem. That's why it was called Church of Agia Sion. Also the village was called the same and then it turned to Agiasos in years. In short, all the history of the village was arouse from the ikon... Very interesting and is worth to visit....
One more beautiful church with an over-the-top iconostasis and a fancy ceiling. Also some of the worst restrooms ever.
