An infertile couple who found an icon of the eleventh century after its discovery managed to have a child. So the chapel became a place of pilgrimage for infertile women without children. They come barefoot, implore the icon of the Virgin and vow to call their girl or boy Tsambika Tsambikos. Tsambikos and Tsambika are two names that are typically found only in the Dodecanese .

The walk is mainly for the view.
