Plane tree forest

Within the plane tree forest is the small church of Agios Ioannis, built by the refugees who came to Stavros after the persecution of 1922, in honor of the church that was located in their village, Katerli. In this space, every year, the landing of the refugees takes place in a modest but also brilliant memorial ceremony. In the shadow of the tall and centuries-old plane trees there are café-bars as well as volleyball, basketball and playground facilities.
