The impressive in construction and location new chapel of the Monastery, is located on the mountain that dominates over Agios Neophytos, between Tsada and Koili, and its connection with the terrible day of the Turkish invasion is related to the fact that the annual memory of Prophet Elias is celebrated on July 20.
