Agioi Saranta Cave Church

Agioi Saranta Cave Chapel

The chapel is named after the forty martyrs of Sebaste, who died for their faith in Christ in 320. The commander of the Roman army demanded that the Christian soldiers offer sacrifices to the pagan gods, but they refused. After that, they were stripped and put in an ice lake. Next to them a bath was set up for those who refuse Christ. By morning one of the soldiers ran into the bath, however, immediately died there. One of the Romans, Aglaius, seeing the bravery of Christians, undressed himself and joined the people standing in the lake. The Romans, seeing that the martyrs did not freeze, broke their knees, burned them, and threw the bones into the water so that the Christians could not gather them. Three days later the martyrs appeared in a dream to the blessed Peter, the bishop of Sebaste, and ordered him to bury their remains, which was done. The Church commemorates the forty martyrs on March 9 (in Russia - on March 22). On this day the chapel has divine service.

Saint Nicholas Chapel, Protaras Cyprus
In an attempt to honor their protector Saint, everyone involved in marine professions in Paralimni, decided to build a chapel dedicated to him. The place was found next to the sea overlooking the harbor where they tie their boats. Small in size, whitewashed with blue painted dome, the chapel of Agios Nicolaos (Saint Nicholas), reminds one of the chapels found on Aegean islands.

Protaras beaches - golden sand, clear, calm, warm water

In summer the sea at Protaras is very calm and the water really warm. The sand is golden. There is a selection of secluded coves (eg Lombardi/Green Bay) and organised sandy stretches. Fig tree and Konnos are probably the most famous of the Protaras beaches while Vrysi beach just to the north of Fig Tree / Protaras Bay is the longest (and very cosmopolitan). In summer some of the beaches get really packed.
Excellent little Cape Greko park is just south of Protaras. There is easy dirtroad access to Cape Greko Sea Caves, which are well worth a visit. Agioi Saranta chapel is an extraordinary church inside a cave. It is found just a couple of km inland.
