Look above the doorway for a practical piece of astronomy built into a small town church
Agia Paraskevi is easy to miss beside Galaxidi's larger church, yet its sundial makes it one of the town's most specific details. The device above the entrance translates sunlight into local time and recalls an era when navigation, observation and everyday religious life were closely connected. Visit in clear daylight if you want to understand rather than merely photograph it.
The church is active and may be locked between services. The exterior sundial can still be viewed from the lane, provided worshippers and neighbouring homes are not obstructed. Keep the stop short, then continue through the captain-house district toward the waterfront. A local guide can explain the markings more reliably than online captions, which often repeat the feature without showing how it works.
