Profitis Ilias monastery on Samos: The Monastery Profitis Ilias in western Samos lies at an altitude of 210 meters, 3 km to the southeast of Karlovasi. The church of the monastery, built in 1739 by the monk Grigorios, replaced a small chapel and few chambers that existed earlier on that site.
The Monastery has some beautiful wall paintings, many ecclesiastical utensils and a wooden carved icon-screen. If you are a trekker, have in mind that there is a moderate trekking path that leads to the Monastery. |
