Dating from around 1514, this smaller chapel is just near Panagia tis Podythou. It’s quite dark inside, so you may want to bring a torch. It has vivid didactic-style (teaching) panels with frescos depicting an interesting panoply of images from Jesus’ life. Opening hours are sporadic; to access the church you'll need to ask for the caretaker at the Galata village coffee shop.
