Above the Theatre of Dionysos, an indistinct rock-strewn path leads to a grotto in the cliff face. In 320 BC Thrasyllos turned the grotto into a temple dedicated to Dionysos. The tiny Panagia Hrysospiliotissa (Chapel of Our Lady of the Cavern) is now a poignant little place, with old pictures and icons on the walls. Above the chapel are two Ionic columns, the remains of Thrasyllos’ temple. It is closed to visitors except on its name day, 15 August.
