Monastery of St. John the Theologian at Souroti, Orthodox convent in Souroti, Greece.
The monastery complex features white buildings surrounding a central church where 67 nuns maintain daily religious practices according to Mount Athos regulations.
Established in 1967 under Elder Paisios guidance, the monastery grew from a small group of women seeking to follow strict Orthodox monastic traditions.
The monastery operates a publishing house producing religious texts in Greek and English, contributing to Orthodox Christian educational materials.
Visitors must follow specific dress codes, with women wearing below-knee skirts and men avoiding shorts, during designated visiting hours throughout the week.
The monastery grounds contain the burial site of Saint Paisios of Mount Athos and house the relics of Saint Arsenios the Cappadocian.
