The small chapel was built at the beginning of the 1970s. Today it is located to the east of the village centre in a casino complex.

The Agios Dimitianos Chapel is located approx. Three kilometers northwest of the village of Agios Amvrosios directly on the sea. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century, today not in active use.

The Church with the ekklesionym Agios Dimitrianos, (built in 1865) is located in the southwestern part of the old village centre. Sometime after 1974 the church was converted into a mosque. Since a new mosque was built in the village recently, the building is now abandoned.

The Agios Eleftherios church was built in the early 13th century. This date, however, is the subject of debate, some historians claiming that the church could be older (twelfth, eleventh, even eight centuries). This Byzantine temple was built on the ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to the worship of Eileithyia.

The Church is located in the northern part of the village centre and was built in 1856; converted into a mosque sometime after 1974.

The new Parish Church was built to the west of the southern access road. The year of construction is not known, but it was probably built around the middle of the 20th century. After 1974, the church was converted into a mosque.

The old parish church was built in Ottoman times and is located opposite the new church. The building is in poor condition today.

This church, which is located directly by the sea, is a building from the post-Byzantine period. Parts of the church were renovated some time ago. Unfortunately, access to the interior is not possible.

The small chapel is located to the north-west of the village directly by the sea, close to the cave of the same name, which has been carved into the coastal cliffs.

The small cemetery chapel was left to its own devices for many years and, like the Greek Orthodox cemetery surrounding the chapel, was completely dilapidated. A few years ago, a Turkish-Cypriot businessman commissioned the restoration of the entire area. Today, the small chapel is in good condition again, as is the cemetery. The entire area is permanently maintained.
