Chapel of Saint Marina

The small chapel of Saint Marina is hidden among tall eucalyptus trees in Kato Deftera, at a very short distance from the Pedieos river. According to historic sources, on this exact spot an older church previously existed which was completely demolished during the Turkish occupation period. During excavations carried out later, the original foundations of the historic structure were found at a depth of three metres, a fact that led to the rebuilding of the present place of pilgrimage.
