Monastery of the Saints Anargyri

Cruciform with a small cupola, the church of the Saints Anargyri (Agii Anargyri) is in the southwestern part of the island, with a beautiful view of the bay of Megali Ammos, especially at sunset. In the area around the church, some monastic remains have survived. This monastery belonged to the monastery of Megisti Lavra of Mount Athos. The earthquake of 1965 destroyed the old church (now restored), and a younger one with a red roof was built next to it. We can reach these churches by taking Path Five (5). More specifically, follow the road that heads toward the beach of Tsoukalia, but 1,100 meters before the beach turn right onto the dirt road at the sign for the church. Drive 1,300 meters to the end of the road, where Path 5 begins, heading to the church of the Saints Anargyri, Tourkoneri, and Megali Ammos. To reach the church, walk 250 meters down a path through the pine trees. From there the path continues, reaching the first beach in Tourkoneri after 400 meters.
