Greek Island Chapels

The Divine Beauty of Greek Island Chapels A Journey of Faith, Heritage, and Peace ''

Step into a sacred tradition nearly 2,000 years old. The story of Greek Island chapels begins in the earliest days of Christianity, when the Apostle Paul and other saints brought the Gospel to the shores of Greece. From Crete to Patmos, from Thessaloniki to Corinth, the light of Christ began to shine across the islands—and in response, the faithful built small, humble chapels to honor Him and the Most Holy Theotokos.

These chapels—known in Greece as ekklesakia—were more than places of prayer. They were sacred refuges in times of hardship, symbols of devotion, and protectors of the home and land. Inside, the soft glow of a flickering oil lamp would shine upon the icons of Christ and the saints, illuminating the hearts of those who came seeking peace.

Today, you can bring this timeless Orthodox tradition into your own life.
Each handmade chapel by Liamas Dimitrios is a faithful echo of these holy places—crafted with care, prayer, and the spirit of Greece. Whether for your home, garden, business, or as a gift to honor life’s sacred moments, these chapels offer more than beauty: they offer a living connection to faith, family, and the divine.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11:29–30 Read More
