which are composing the historical indetity of Nea Fokea.

  • 🌍 Grotto church of St. Paul. The very worth seeing cave church of Saint Paul, which is located in a cave in which one can move due to the narrowness and low ceiling partly only on all fours. Because of the narrowness you can visit them only when there is little rush. (updated Oct 2018)
