Anyone on their way from the Odigitrias Monastery to Martsalos Beach or Agiofarango Bay will pass this newly built chapel.
The path leads down to the left until the end of the road. Turn left again through the streambed and head towards the Greek flag. From there, a well-maintained staircase leads to the cave church of Panagia and further to Martsalo Beach.
For those heading to Agiofarango Bay, after the cave church, climb the same path back up to the flag and follow the red markings.

Nice little church (unfortunately closed) at the upper end of the Martsalo Gorge. Good as a parking space if you want to descend into the gorge.
