History & cultureCHIOS · A PLACE TO DISCOVER
In a 2022 interview, Stella Stefanou describes her family’s care of this chapel. She reports a document dated 15 February 1855 transferring it from Ioannis Xenofontas Kritis to his son. She explicitly says the founding date is unknown: 1855 records a transfer, not construction.
GOOD TO KNOW
This is a family-owned chapel. Arrange access locally before leaving the village; neither public entry nor a walking approach is verified here.
YOUR VISIT, IN DETAIL
Saint George at Patela
Suggested pause10–20 minutesTime on site, excluding travel
Two things to notice
Read the family account before visiting. If access is arranged, think about the ordinary acts of care that keep a small chapel part of a landscape. The source also contains the family’s photographs, available through the source reader.
Choose one detail to remember and compare it with the next church you visit. Ask before photographing an interior.

A THREAD IN KALAMOTI’S STORY
An island journey, a village perspective
Use this stop to broaden your picture of Chios, then return to Kalamoti’s own architectural story. Allow travel time and opening hours to shape the day; distant sights deserve an unhurried visit.
The historical connection
The 1881 earthquake and subsequent rebuilding changed Kalamoti. Chios’s official guide identifies later influences from Chios Town and Kampos in doors and windows. Look at the village as a succession of building periods: the medieval layout survives alongside later choices, repairs and additions.
