Saint Paraskevi of the Dragon - Ambelia Village

Agia Paraskevi in ​​Drakotrypa, Arta is a particularly devout chapel, built in an impressive natural landscape that combines rocks, caves and lush vegetation. Its location, often near or even inside rock cavities, gives a sense of a “hidden” sacred space, which enhances the serenity and mysticism of the site. The surrounding area is lush green, with plane trees, bushes and running water in some places, creating a cool microclimate even in the summer months. Access is usually via a small path, which adds a gentle hiking experience and makes the visit more “nature-loving”. The chapel is dedicated to Agia Paraskevi, who is considered the protector of the eyes, and many visitors arrive there for pilgrimage, lighting a candle and enjoying the tranquility of the space. Often, near the temple there is also a natural spring or running water, which enhances the traditional character of the place. Agia Paraskevi in ​​Drakotrypa is not just a religious destination, but also a place of special natural beauty, ideal for those seeking peace, contact with nature and a different, more authentic experience in Epirus.
