St. Nicholas Chapel

Kea (Tzia) Greece

Greek Orthodox

The simple whitewashed chapel was built by a devout Greek Orthodox woman, Asimina, having survived great hardship and poverty, wanted to express her devout faith in a loving God. The chapel has a small bronze bell and is near a stream that flows away from the barren mountains into a green valley. The island has many of these small chapels, often on hilltops overlooking the sea.
