St. Marinas (Ozias- archaeological site)

The presence of the church in this area raises speculation that the central port of Paxos was located in the same vicinity. The bay of Ozia, as a historic point and area, is documented in Venetian archives and references, with sailors referring to it as Porto Spuzzo (translated as the port that smells), a name likely attributed to the odor of the subterranean sulfuric springs in the marine area. Today, both are in a dilapidated state.
