Shën Stavridhi Monastery, Ilias

Reivews 0

The monastery of Stavridhi or as it is called the "Life-Giving Source" is located near the village of Ilias, on the side of an unpaved road inside the village.

This monastery is dedicated to the Theotokos and was built in the 14th century, on the ancient temple of the god Zeus and Artemis, the goddess of hunting.

The celebration of August 15 has already become a tradition for the entire area, which also coincides with Saint Mary's Day. The very story of the legend of the water and the icon that served as the beginnings of this monastery 700 years ago, for all visitors returns the desire to restore this unique place.
