P	Petros Monogios on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From the road Megalopolis towards Kalamata, a picturesque small road of approx 20km bring you to the place. Agia Theodora is a small stone church of 12th century with 17 big trees…grow on its roof! Strange enough there are no roots inside the church! To explain the miracle a research project launched in 1996 by the University of Patras. Summarising the findings the scientists wrote: “It was proved that the roots follow the gaps existing inside the side stonewall creating repulsion stresses between the stones and thus they reach the ground. This leads to the creation of a net of roots that reinforces the building from a static point of view opposing the roof load but also destroying the stonewalls. It was also proved that the south wall is almost intact while there seems to be a particular void in the north wall” Worth a visit since the feeling from the photos is far from the feeling you have soon you see the church

M	ManFighterMusic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place with history behind it! If you enjoy nature and green you will love it. After the church there is a path through the forest with lakes ducks and tall trees leading to a water mill where they make flour. The sights are fantastic. On top of that there is a restaurant where you could have local food and refreshments.

A	Antonis Magklaras on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Miracle in front of your eyes.. pure and simple… no more words to say.. deserve to go all way to there… nice road… nice scenery..
G	Gus Dalinis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The church is small, nice to see, but I wouldn't go out of your way to see it. It has trees growing on the roof top and within the walls of the structure itself, but no roots are inside dangling down. There is a river adjacent to it but not much else to see.
