    About This Location

    The whitewashed Agioi Anargiroi Chapel is one of the most picturesque spots in the Cape Greco area, perched above the turquoise sea and surrounded by dramatic cliffs. Dedicated to Saints Kosmas and Damianos, the patron saints known as the “Holy Unmercenaries,” the chapel holds deep religious and cultural significance for locals. Its simple architecture, blue dome, and panoramic backdrop of the Mediterranean make it a favorite for visitors, weddings, and photographers.

    A staircase next to the chapel leads down to a sea cave beneath it. According to local tradition, this cave was once used by early Christian hermits for prayer and retreat. Today, it’s a fascinating historical and spiritual site, combining natural beauty with religious heritage.
