Overview

It is a chapel which is situated at the location “Karydi” at the village of Spilia, next to the main road which leads to the community. It was built in 1994, having as prime mover the Cashier of the Ecclesiastical Committee, Antonis Karis. This was the vivid wish of many of the residents and expatriates of Spilia because there used to be some old church at the same location, on the ruins of which there was a mass on every Monday of Easter, approximately until 1960. A feast would then follow under the shadow of the towering walnut trees of the area. Hence, those who were nostalgic of that era pushed towards the construction of the chapel and Antonis Karis, always a sensitive receiver of the peoples’ feelings, officiated in making the dream a reality. The chapel was the church of the settlement which formerly existed in the surrounding area. Nowadays, the area is being reconstructed with beautiful country houses.
