Chapels

On Patmos we come across many chapels built by pious Christians for the sake of a hope, a vow, or in memory of a beloved person. There has been around 180 chapels recorded which are scattered around the island. We make a reference to the most historical ones from the area, as they have been mentioned in folktales .

Saint Nikolas of Evdilos
