The Monastery of Agia Efpraxia in Hydra Greece, Saronic: The Monastery of Agia Efpraxia is an important religious sight in Hydra Saronic. The monastery was originally built in 1865 and the main church, the katholikon, is actually pretty small and austere in architecture. Few nuns still live in this monastery and take care of the building. They also run a small embroidery workshop.
The Monastery of Agia Efpraxia is located on top of a hill above the town, at an altitude of 500 m. It is twin to the Monastery of Prophet Elias, which is found in a close distance. Visitors can go to the monastery on foot following a hiking trail from the Town or from Vlihos. The distance is about 40 min on foot from Town. |
