The only chapel in Greece located inside a crater

Near the village of Didyma in Argolis you can marvel at a unique natural wonder, as well as one of the most distinctive chapels in Greece.

At the foot of Mount Didymo in Argolis lies one of the Peloponnese’s most unusual places that few know: the Didyma sinkholes.

The two enormous craters (Great Cave and Small Cave), formed by the subsidence of the ground due to the mountain’s underground waters, constitute a unique geological phenomenon.

The imposing craters are circular in shape and visible from a great distance thanks to their size. From above they are an impressive sight. In one of the two craters (Small Cave) there are two chapels from the Byzantine and post-Byzantine periods (11th - 14th centuries), hewn into the rock: Saint George, which is the larger, and the Transfiguration of the Savior.
