Christian worshiping cave of Panagia
Two small cavities in the rock which are forming niches, are located on the western side of the peninsula of Alyki, they are close to the sea and in a landscaped area where only few steps are leading to. The cave is already known since the early 20th century when the sightseer Baker-Penoyre visited Alyki. The sightseer then has found in the first niche, a fragment of parapet with an embossed cross and a written illegible inscription which cannot be found today, while on the second niche, he saw piles of bones. Today both niches are shaped, from the local people, to a small worship place dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
