Pantokratoros Monastery
Μονή Παντοκράτορος
A 14th-century monastery beside a small bay on the northeast coast, its buildings stretching along the rocky shore with beautiful coastal walks nearby.
Founded in the 14th century by brothers who were Byzantine generals, the monastery nestles beside a small fishing harbor, and its collection includes Byzantine manuscripts and icons. On a hill nearby stands the hermitage of the Prophet Elijah, built in Russian style. Only men with a Diamonitirion (entry permit) may enter. It can be linked with Stavronikita and Vatopedi on a coastal walking route.
Opening hours
Men with permits only; overnight stays require advance reservation; closes at sunset
