Saint George Mavrovouniou

The Monastery was plundered several times and destroyed by the Ottomans. According to testimonies, it was recreated in the 20th century. During your visit you will find that the monastery includes a chapel of the Holy New Martyr George the Cypriot, of Saint Marina, an underground chapel of the Holy Fathers of Optina, and the cave of Saint Mary of Egypt. The male monks tend to the monastery daily and can guide you as well as narrate to you the history of the monastery. Before you leave the space, visit the monastery's bookshop.
