Located north of the Çayağzı Junction between Andriake and Myra and known as the "Nymphaion," this structure was built at the source of the Andriakos Stream. Our excavations established that it consists of three sections: the main/central space, measuring 10.55 x 13.20 m, ends in an apse 6.45 m wide to the southeast, and at the rear (northern) part of the space there is a bench 0.90 m wide cut into the bedrock. There are two doors in the east wall, the southern one being a twin door. Both doors lead into space III. Immediately to the north of the doors is an arched passage.
