The Chapel of
Saint Hermogenes

The place and its history

A sacred place beside Kourion

At the eastern foot of Kourion hill stands the chapel of Saint Hermogenes, the surviving church of a former monastery.

The two-aisled, barrel-vaulted building retains its simple stone character and the atmosphere of a historic place of pilgrimage. The saint’s stone sarcophagus survives in the northern aisle.

The saint and his feast

Saint Hermogenes the Hieromartyr

According to church tradition, the relics of Saint Hermogenes reached the area of Kourion by sea in a sarcophagus. His memory remains closely linked to this place and its shrine.

The Church commemorates him on 5 October, when our chapel also celebrates its annual feast.
