Tuesday 16th July and we visited this small Church which is situated by the sea on the South East coast of the Island outside the town of Xirokampos. We had to descend about 25 long steep steps to get to the Church. As we opened the door it was amazing to see how it had been carved into the rock. At the back of the Church is a very small altar with 2 crosses with icons and religious images nearby and on the walls. There are some stunning coastal views from the grounds of the Chuch. The road ends, where the Chuch is, and turns into a dirt track. It is possible to walk here from Xirokampos, it is a bit of a walk, from anywhere else transport is required. It is so worth a visit to this wonderful place.

We visit the town regularly as it has a great butcher who will vacuum pack and freeze orders at short notice and a good range of well stocked small supermarkets within an easy walk of the port and town quay (large one in the outskirts). There is also a Vodafone shop with a very helpful and knowledgeable staff.....but best of all several great ice cream and coffee shops and a superb bakers where wonderful patisserie is sold as well as the usual Greek sweet treats. You can see the Italian influence.....it reminded me of the lovely cakes and coffees in Sicily and of course the town has an unfortunate history of an Italian invasion. It is billed as "art deco" which a few buildings on the front do indeed owe their design to but Napier, New Zealand it is not! Do not expect a picturesque Greek village it is a friendly "working" Greek town with it's own special charm. It has a pleasant sea front and small beaches on the outskirts a short walk from the port. It is well worth making time to see the town prior to catching a ferry to other destinations or using it as a base to explore the island.

All the beach bars on the sand here and lovely, and the water is very calm, and it never gets too windy (as some other parts of the island do).
