Kechrovouni Monastery

Located on the mountainside of Kechrovouni, at 650 meters above sea level, this Monastery is dedicated to the Dormition of Virgin Mary and was founded by daughters of a wealthy family of Tinos in the 11th or 12th century.

It is a complex, which includes the main church, smaller churches, as well as auxiliary buildings and the nuns’ cells. This is the monastery were Aghia Pelaghia led an ascetic life and had the vision of Virgin Mary, telling her about Her miraculous icon.
