Left: Ayios Sozomenos Chapel. It is located about two miles to the east of the village by the sea. According to a traditional narrative the chapel was erected in this place after the icon of Ayios Sozomenos was found on the rocks just below. The erection of the chapel started in the position the icon was found, but strangely when the builders were returning the next morning to continue their work, they were discovering that the previous day's work was demolished. This went on until one of the builders saw in his dream Saint Sozomenos telling him that he did not like the place they were erecting the chapel, but was preferring the plateau above the cliff . The next morning the builder told his colleagues about his dream and they decided to change the place to where the Saint indicated and so the chapel was able to be completed. Other Chapels of the village are the Ayia Ekaterini which is located within the village near the Ayios Georghios church and the Ayios Nikolaos Chapel which is located in the southeast of the village just below Kantara Castle. This Chapel was formerly the Saint Nikolas monastery. Right: This is a view westwards from a locality called "Alonoudhkia". The Kantara mountains can be seen at the distance. On the left in front of the mountains is the village and on the right, near the sea are the Mineral Baths premises together with the "Louis" and "Tony's" hotels. |
