This little church built into a cave in the hills is quite tricky to find, but it is worth persevering, as it is a lovely place to explore. It is believed that the word ‘Saranta’ which means ‘40’ in Greek is derived from forty stalagmites on the ceiling of the cave, linked to the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste.
