It is hard to know which is more impressive, the breathtaking beauty of Saint Isidore picturesque chapel, or the saint’s own inspiring life story. Saint Isidore was born in Alexandria - Egypt to a noble family, and served as a sailor in the Roman navy. On one of his voyages, when he arrived to the island of Chios, it was revealed to his commander, Admiral Numerio, that Isidore was a devout Christian, something that was considered a sin at that period. Numerio tried to change his mind and persuade him to convert, but without success. Following that, Isidore was sent to a prison, where he was cruelly tortured, torturous that went on, till he was brutally murdered on May 14, 250 AD and this became his official memorial date. Saint Isidore has become over the years the patron saint of the island of Chios, and many of the churches and the chapels on the island bear his name. He is also revered as the patron saint of the sailors throughout the Mediterranean. The folk tradition of Chios has associated the honor of Saint Isidore with health and physical well-being.

The magnificent that is located 2 km southeast to the beautiful village Lagada, bears his name, and has become one of the hallmarks of the island attracting many visitors each year.
