The faithful come from near and far. They slip inside the cool, dark shrine a few blocks from the Sponge Docks. Some days a dozen come. Other days people pull up in buses and spill out to take turns in the tiny building, crossing themselves and lighting candles. This stone chapel was built to fulfill a boy's promise made to the Archangel Michael during a vision as the 11-year-old lay near death. Steve Tsalickis was diagnosed with a brain tumor 75 years ago. Doctors told his mother there was no hope, yet he recovered. His parents built the shrine in their back yard. Since then, miracles have occurred for the hopeless.

We had a wonderful experience with kind and generous staff and crew. Very reasonably priced. Enjoyed the sponge factory film - it was very educational. The gentlemen running the boat were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. They did their best to make sure we saw the dolphins. Got us to the island and we were able to get great photos and found sponges and shells! Great day and great activity. Would definitely go again!
