This high-value 1000-drachmai stamp from Greece features the famous church of Panagia Ekatontapyliani (“Our Lady of the Hundred Gates”) on the island of Paros, one of the oldest and most revered Byzantine churches in the Aegean. Printed in a rich reddish-brown tone, the design highlights the church’s distinctive domes and bell towers within an ornate frame, reflecting ELKA’s fine engraving style. Issued during Greece’s post-war definitive period, this denomination served heavier postal and fiscal needs and is sought after for its architectural theme and bold classical layout. A strong addition for collectors of Greek landmarks, Byzantine heritage, and mid-20th-century high-value issues.
