Amazing wild views while walking there, unique spot : a chapel with no roof hidden inside a curve of a rock. It takes a bit of climbing on stairs so carry water, good shoes maybe a hat if it is during early hrs and you will be compensated. About 20-30 min climbing depending on your fitness. Descend is very easy

About a 10min drive along a dirt road and then a climb of about 20 mins if you're fit. The church itself is not much to see but the landscape and viewers are very impressive. Be careful in the heat of the day.

One of the most picturesque places on the island of Lemnos. Even for those not religious enough to visit the unique chapel of "Panagia Kakkaviotissa" dedicated to the holy mother of Jesus, there are other important reasons to make this small walk. First, you satisfy the need to walk safely on one of the rocky mountains of Lemnos. Second, you get to see amazing places while walking next to unique wild vegetation. Third, you will probably come across dozens of wild goats that will show you that climbing is much more difficult than walking. Nonetheless, it is rather tiring and you need to wear athletic shoes. Finally, during summer you need to avoid walking to the chapel between 11:00-15:00 because of the heat.

A unique and very beautiful roofless chapel, built inside a rock cavity on the top of Kakavos Mountain. The location is stunning, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The chapel can be reached after a 20 to 30-minute uphill hike from the car park area. The hiking itself is exciting. It is not that easy because the terrain is rugged but the trail passes through amazing volcanic rock formations. The car park area is easily accessible via a 3-kilometer-long dirt road, which is in generally good condition.

One of the most beautiful holy monuments in the Aegean islands. Difficult to reach cause you have to walk a lot but when you complete the pathway you will be far more satisfied. The area is a nature's miracle. One of the most extraordinary places i ever seen in my life. Better to visit early morning in summer or noon in Spring Wish you have amazing vacations
