CHURCHES CHAPEL OF SAINT GEORGE Hidden amongst dwellings behind Ancient Phigaleia's taverna is the Chapel of Saint George. Inside, the rich colour and distinctive Orthodox iconography is in sharp contrast to the simplicity in many northern European churches. When one enters through the main entrance at the furthermost western end, it is like stepping into a whole new world of colour and light. The decor of the nave is unashamedly lavish with lots of gold surrounding the colourful frescos. Generally, these tell bible stories but there are also some very fine portraits of saints.
