Panayia Eleousa: A beautiful place to visit

Peace and tranquillity

Not far away from the town of Larnaca, there is a very beautiful and peaceful place near Kellia village. There is a chapel, which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Panagia Eleousa).

The chapel was built by Mr Eraclis and his family, with love and loyalty to God, whom they worked very hard to succeed. They also, planted several trees and plants around the chapel and created a small heaven for the animals and birds of the area. This makes it, even more, the favourite place for a lot of young and elderly people.

Entering the chapel, your heart flooded with peace and tranquillity. Even though, the space inside is tiny, it is big enough to accommodate so many people every day. You can light up your candle and pray or just admire the beauty of the place.

Furthermore, you can walk on the wooden bridge and head to the prayer, which is built into a rock near the chapel. It is very impressive and unique place, where you can pray away from everything.

Around the chapel, the nature is lovely with a lot of animals, such as donkeys, reindeers, frosts, love birds, parrots and other, which are also taking care by Mr Eraclis and his family.

The place it´s open to the public all days of the week and the entrance to the place is free of change.

It’s really amazing when you are there. You will get some rest and you will fill with energy.
