Fodor's Expert Review St. Stefanos Chapel

Syros Religious Building/Site/Shrine
Beautiful and picturesque, Aghios Stefanos is a tiny chapel built into a cave right above the sea. A 15-minute walk from Galissas with views to Finikas and beyond, it was built by a fisherman who prayed to the saint to help him after being entangled in the tentacles of a giant octopus. Twice a year—August 19th and December 26th—celebrations are held and after the liturgy attendees are offered loukoumi, the local sweet.
