Evangelistria Monastery
A sacred site with roots in Greek independence
Where faith, history, and nature come together on the slopes of Skiathos.
Built in the late 18th century, this still-active monastery played a vital role during the Greek War of Independence and is rumoured to be where the first Greek flag was blessed. Surrounded by pine-covered hills, it offers a peaceful retreat from the coastal bustle. The site includes a small museum, a wine cellar, and an ornate church, welcoming both spiritual visitors and curious travellers. It’s a key stop for those exploring the deeper layers of the island’s identity.
