Kechrovouni

This big monastery, with its labyrinth of alleys, looks like a small Cycladic village. It was here that lived Pelagia, the nun who saw in recurring dreams the place where a forgotten icon was buried. A miraculous story since, after excavations, the icon was found and gave birth to the Panaghia Evangelistria, built in the capital Chora on the site of the discovery!
