The area also hosts liturgical services and celebrations during major religious feast days, strengthening the bond between visitors and the island’s cultural and religious traditions.

The setting around the church combines traditional religious character with the natural beauty of the seaside, offering visitors a meaningful experience that blends spiritual reflection with the serene coastal environment.
