The church of Virgin Mary of Lagouvarda in Markopoulo is built where an old convent used to be. The convent was built where the icon of Virgin Mary was found after a huge forest fire.

According to tradition, many years ago, the nuns of this convent when the Turks threatened them, prayed to Virgin Mary for help. As a miracle snakes appeared from nowhere scaring the Turks. The nuns were saved and from that date, every year on the 6th- 16th of August these little harmless snakes emerge from the rocks of the church’s bell tower.
