Modern Description: Some of the remains from Dystos made their way to the curious, ruined Mediaeval church of Aghia Triada, just to the north. (To the left, 1.2 km south of Krieza, about 200m before the descending road finally flattens out into the floor of the Dystos valley.) The lower areas of the apse and walls still stand. The altar is a fluted column stump: the central door of the templon screen – an ancient sarcophagus, standing on end, the bottom of which has been cut out, creating a single, stone, rectangular entrance-way – is an ingenious example of recycling.
