These are generally three-aisled, wooden-roofed basilicas. The main body has a rectangular plan and is divided into three sections called “naves” with two rows of columns or pesses parallel to the long walls. The middle aisle is wider which ends in a large semicircular arch to the east. The side aisles are narrower than the middle and usually end towards the east in straight sides. To the west of the main body of the basilica is an adjacent narthex with a rectangular plan. In some cases to the west of the narthex was the atrium or spacious courtyard. Various additions were attached around the basilicas. In the municipality of Mylopotamos, there are preserved basilicas in Axos, Episkopi and Panormos.
