Panagia Theoskepast, Paphos, Cyprus. It is a nice neo-Byzantine church, that is build on a foundation of the original Byzantine building (and since the works took place in 20th century, all original Byzantine details were preserved) with an interesting exonartex, which seems to copy the design of the exonartex of the Hagia Sophia in Trabzon.

Koroni monastery, Greece. The monastic complex was built in 16th century and survived the period of Turkish reign, but was seriously damaged by the Germans during WW2. However the catholicon of the monastery and some cells were preserved, and after the war the whole complex was reconstructed.
