Evangelistria Monastery Skopelos, Skopelos Overview
The Monastery of Evangelistria is located about 3.5 km east of Skopelos Town, on the hillside of Mount Palouki. The monastery was built in 1712 and is one of the first post-Byzantine era monuments in Skopelos. The architecture of the monastery resembles a fortress and the main attraction is the iconostasis built in Constantinople.There is an excellent view of the town and the Aegean sea from the monastery.
The monastery contains many important icons from Byzantine and post-Byzantine times. The inner courtyard has a roofed fountain and a small exhibition of various objects. Mini-buses run from the town to the monastery and are also accessible by cars or ATVs.Since the roads are washed away, it could be a bit difficult to climb during rain. There are a few nuns and priests left at the monastery, so it is advisable to dress modestly.
