A bit of a trek from the beach but worth it! A beautiful byzantine church and apparently the real pillar st paul was flayed at as well! Great little spot.

This former christian catacomb has some pretty wonderful frescoes. You'll know it by the tree outside with hungreds of objects hanging on it, set there by people whishing for their disease or ailment to be cured, as apparently the tree has magical powers.

It was eerie finding this place as you have to find the catacombs, which are marked by a tree with rags and personal effects tied to it. Definitely the strangest church i've been to but in its way totally lovely too. Makes you think you don't need all the granduer of something like st. peters in rome to get close to God.
