The Chapel of Saint Mamas on the Island of Hydra


The Chapel of Saint Mamas is located on the island of Hydra high in the Klimaki area, on a plateau west of Mount Eros on the (internal) road to Episkopi. It is an all-white chapel in a deserted location overlooking Myrtos Beach.

It is said that the founder of the church was Th. Rigas and he was in danger of a storm coming to Hydra, but he made a vow to Saint Mamas that if he was saved, he would build him a chapel, which he did.
