We were on honeymoon and heard of this place so it was a must to visit. I was so glad we took the time out to visit it is amazing the whole feeling I got when I was there was just wow. We went down a narrow cave that got smaller but you could still see the entrance when you reached the end before turning into a little shrine/prayer room of st Paul. It's well worth a visit when you get to nea folka you will see the tower on the hill there is a car park just as you turn off the main road st paul's church is on the opposite side of the road

This place is really a must visit if you are in the area. It's so surreal that this cave, at one point, housed St Paul and many others. It was not easy to get inside to the prayer room but it was well worth it. To touch the stones in the cave is like touching something of the past. to be in the small cave is to be in the same room where St Paul was. Pretty cool. There was also a cistern where water was, according to the information sheet on the door and according to stories handed down, after praying, the water in the cistern flowed to sustain St Paul. The water is still there and is very clear.
This is really a nice place to visit.

Only the thought that this place is almost the same age as Christ. Inside you feel incredible power of history. According to stories of this Church, Paul the Apostel, who is considered one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age, used to baptize people more then thousand years ago. Visit and feel it!

This place is beautiful and really unique, you may haven't seen anything like this before. The entrance is gorgeous, but be prepared: the end of the tunnel is really narrow and the ceiling is really low.

My wife and myself were taken on a brief visit to Nea Fokea Village this afternoon and I, mistakenly, thought the main attraction would be the impressive Byzantine Watchtower.
In the event, the attraction of greatest interest was to be found on the opposite side of the road - St Paul’s Church which is actually inside a cave. It is not, however, easy to navigate and the gap to reach the end of the cave is extremely narrow and one that many people may find too challenging. For those who do, there is a ‘Holy Water’ well.
All in all, a very pleasant surprise and one that anyone visiting the Byzantine Watchtower should certainly take the trouble to cross the road!

This place traditionally goes right back to the Apostle Paul. A short low tunnel takes you to a well and small chapel area. You really have to crawl on your knees to get to the well, symbolic of a spiritual journey.
The chapel area is more of a shrine, with intriguingly placed articles of children’s clothing. One wonders what the significance is.

Beautiful little church cut out of rock and set into the side of a rock face. Accessible from the road it houses icons and a well. It also has a small room that was used many many years ago. Pay a visit, light a candle and explore the tunnel leading to the well and room. There is a park out front to take a break also.

Well we come across the church by mistake and we were scared to get in. It looks like a church from outside but once you are inside its consist of the narrow and dark tunnel which takes you the prayer room. Its not for claustrophobic people.
