The chapel sits about 500 meters from the Cave Bath and is easily accessible near the main attractions of the area. Regular Sunday services take place here, and visitors can view the interior during these times.
The natural cave structure maintains a constant temperature year-round, making it a comfortable place for religious gatherings. These climatic conditions are a special feature of the site that sets it apart from other chapels.
