Chapel of Agios Pavlos

This guide to the Chapel of Agios Pavlos, perched above a cove beneath Lindos's ancient acropolis, follows a single wedding week at a chapel that marries more couples than most churches see all year, each ceremony held to a strict sixty minutes. It walks through the rules that govern that hour: only live Greek music, no pop, no confetti, only flower petals swept away before the next couple arrives. Along the way it traces the legend of Saint Paul, driven into this cove by a storm in the first century, and why couples now ask to be blessed in his name. Listen for the boats idling in the channel below, ready to ferry each wedding party on to Lindos beach.
