The village is 8 klm from Kalambaka on the left-side of the river Pineios. Northern Sarakina, near the rock called ”Petra”, you can find a country church dedicated to the Holy Apostles. Also in the village is a church dedicated to St. Athanasios (1872).

Sarakina is well known for its beautiful stone-bridge (15th century), important for the transportation to the villages of Pindos and Aspropotamos, also used as wells during the Turkish occupation. To build the bridge they used carved blocks of stone, some from older constructions.

The church of the Holy Apostles

At the end of the 16th century-beginning of the 17th century was built the church dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul in contact with the adjoining rock. It has beautiful icon-paintings in the main church and the Holy place. It is believed that the icon painter was from the area, with the name George.
