Μετάφραση Greek Version

Monastery of Michael Roukouniotis

The Monastery is located in the western part of the island, four kilometers from Chorio and is dedicated to Archangel Michael Taxiarchis.

Entering the visitor to the monastery's precinct, she is impressed with the tall, umbrella-like cypress tree that adorns her.

The Monastery in the past was a Patriarchal Crossbreed. It consists of two churches of intense architectural interest, the old, the lower church, which has interesting frescoes of the 15th century and the new or above temple, which also has a remarkable wall painting.

On November 8, Feast of Feast of Archangel Michael, a feast is held near the large cypress of the courtyard.
