Built in 1780, the church of Ipapanti is one of the most famous in Hydra and belongs to Hydra Cathedral. Located next to the mansion of Lazaros Koudouriotis, the church has been listed as a national monument.
Due to the reddish colour of the building materials, its exterior has a distinctive tint. It is also renowned for its 19th-century murals.
