St Paul was shipwwrecked here, apparently The most dramatic setting of any Lindos church

  ST PAUL is interesting, because although it is fairly modern it sits beside St Paul's Bay, where the apostle is supposed to have  come ashore when shipwrecked. Unusually, it is no longer in regular use by the Orthodox Church, and instead is used as a wedding venue for English people with more money than sense or style. However, I noticed it was used for the Vigil Liturgy on the eve of the feast of the Dormition.
