KOTZINOS (Port) LEMNOS (LIMNOS)
The church of Zoodochos Pigi which existed in the interior of the
castle was recently renovated. Since 1415 it is referred to, as Zoodochos Pigi
of Syngellos, an independent monastery. Ancient steps, quite deteriorated begin
from the ant-temple and lead to an underground vault. In this room exists a holy
water spring. In fact the spring is whatever remained of a water-supply construction
once used by the castle during sieges. There is a tale about this water: Once
a queen of the island tried to hide there when her enemies were running after
her. She is the one who confuses anybody who insists to count the steps. They
seem to be sometimes 84, sometimes 64, sometimes 57... and sometimes 51.
