★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The parish church of Agios Athanasios of Sykia is located in the center of the old settlement. It is a three-aisled, wooden-royal basilica.
The construction of the temple began in December 1818 and was completed in 1819 by a team of craftsmen from Pentalofos of Voio Kozani, as evidenced by the inscription that adorn the temple externally.
Amongst the most interesting features is the wood-carved pilgrimages, works of 1703, which appear to come from Athos mountain. Characteristic is also its masonry and above all its western face. Next to the church there is the wonderful old village school with the stone columns, built in 1868
Two years after the building of the church, in 1821, part of the temple was destroyed by the fire triggered by the Turkish forces in retaliation for the revolutionary movement that broke out in the Halkidiki region. With the money of the villagers and the help of Athonite monks, the temple was repaired in 1839. The temple was rebuilt during the revolutionary events of 1854 by Tsamis Karatasos, who later sent the necessary money for his rebuilding in 1861 .
