According to tradition, Apostle Paul has rammed his staff into the ground here. At this point springs now a source of locals and pilgrims like to tap their blessed water.
From the chapel you have a beautiful view of the sea. It serves as a starting point or rest for beautiful walks.

Agios Pavlos (the Church of St. Paul the Apostle) is built next to an ancient well, with very clear water. You'll probably spot the locals, especially on Sundays, filling plastic bottles with water and storing them in their cars. Legend has it that the apostle Paul passed by on his way to Rome and, being thirsty, prayed for water and struck the ground with his stick. Immediately a spring jumped out and since then the water is bubbling. Source: in-greece.de/elia/foto/27827-wanderbeschreibung-elia-nach-petros-sithonia
