Monastery of Faneromeni at Anavriti

The monastery was founded in the late 19th century by Archimandrite Athanasios Ladopoulos.

Tradition has it that when he was returning from a mill, he noticed his animals stop in front of a snake. When the serpent disappeared, he saw a vision of the Virgin Mary who instructed him to dig into the hill, find her icon and build a church on that exact spot.

He did as he was told and found the icon, which is now displayed in the church of Faneromeni ‘Our Lady Revealed’.
