Chapel of Saint George

This small, simple chapel is single-aisled and barrel-vaulted. It has an unadorned interior and can accommodate a few worshippers.

location
About three kilometers outside the village on the road to Mari

Approximately three kilometers south of Kalavasos, the Chapel of Saint George is situated on a flat landscape surrounded by wild vegetation. Built in a simple, single-nave, barrel-vaulted architectural style, it features a prominent semicircular apse and a pitched tiled roof. Modest in design, the chapel accommodates only a small number of worshippers. It has two entrances, one on the western and one on the southern side, both sheltered by simple tiled canopies. The windows are framed with plain limestone borders, except for the apse's semi-cylinder. The doors are adorned with simple limestone doorframes. On the northern wall, Saint George is depicted alongside scenes of his martyrdom. Inside, a newly crafted wooden iconostasis houses icons from the 20th century. The chapel’s bell is mounted on a temporary metal structure in the courtyard. The feast of Saint George is celebrated on April 23rd, when villagers honor the saint with traditional ceremonies.
