Monastery of the Virgin Mary Amorgos 840 08, Greece ☎ +30 2285 071274 Last Updated: 08/05/2025 |
| Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary Chozoviotissa is a Greek Orthodox monastery on the island of Amorgos. It is built on the steep south coast of the island, at an altitude of 300 meters. There is a stunning view of the island’s wild beauty from the highest balcony of the Monastery. | |
| The island’s top attraction is the 10th century cliffside monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa, dedicated to the Presentation of the Virgin, a spiritual haven and one of the most important ecclesiastic monuments in Greece. Set high up on the steepest rock of Mt. Profitis Elias, 300m above the Aegean, the building resembles a “chest of drawers”, according to the French explorer Pitton de Tournefort. Visible only from the sea, the monastery is an example of human triumph over nature, a wonder that will leave you awestruck. | |
