Churches and Sightseeing:
The church of the village of Livadia is dedicated to Agia Paraskevi and it is a building of 1880. Due to its antiquity it is under the protection of the archaeological museum. Unfortunately, a serpent of serfs ravaged the chapel in 2011 and stole silver from sacred vessels of great archaeological value.
