Ayia Thekla Beach

The holy first martyr Thekla is one of the most revered saints of the Christian church, one of the first nuns, her name is mentioned when women were tonsured as monks. Initially, there was a small cave chapel where residents of neighboring villages came to honor the memory of the Holy First Martyr Thekla, very revered and beloved on the holy island, to ask the Lord for intercession and teaching. And to this day you can go into this chapel, going down from the modern snow-white church to the beach. A new church was built today. The ancient icons that adorned the cave chapel, unfortunately, were stolen during the Turkish aggression of 1974, at present some of them are kept in the monastery of the Apostle Barnabas in Northern Cyprus.
