The picturesque chapel of Ayios Epifanios lies on a slope of a cliff over the ruins of a former chapel. The chapel is dedicated to Ayios Epifanios, the Byzantine Bishop of Salamis.

After extensive restorations, the Holy Water and ruins were discovered that are both accessible to the public. From the church, visitors marvel at breathtaking views of Paliochori (Old Village). Paliochori was a Byzantine settlement which was ruined by the Arab attacks and raids during 632 – 964 A.D. However, the ruins of the settlement are still there.

A larger and more modern church was constructed near the old chapel with the initiative of the Ayia Napa Municipality, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and the Clergy.

One of the very few buildings found in Cape Greco National Park is the picturesque white-washed Chapel of Ayioi Anargyroi. The chapel is dedicated to Saint Kosmas and Damianos, two doctors who cured the sick without receiving money in exchange. The locals refer to them as the Omosianoi Saints. As legend has it, during the doctors’ journey they faced some trouble out at sea and their boat carried them into a cave which was converted into a chapel. As the years went by, a new chapel was built on the peak of a rock right above the cave.

Besides the serenity the chapel exudes, visitors marvel at the amazing vistas of the surrounding landscapes as well as glistening azure sea.
