Evangelistria Monastery, Skiathos, Orthodox monastery in Skiathos, Greece.

The monastery consists of a three-domed church with a wooden iconostasis, surrounded by monk cells and auxiliary buildings on a hillside location.

Founded in 1794 by Kollyvades monks from Mount Athos, the monastery became a center for Greek independence fighters who took their oath in 1807.

The monastery museum displays ecclesiastical artifacts, manuscripts, Byzantine icons, and the original loom used to create the first Greek national flag.

Located 4 kilometers north of Skiathos town, the monastery can be reached by minibus services from the town terminus or through a metalled road.

The monastery maintains vineyards that produce Alypiakos, a red Muscat wine with production methods dating back to the 5th century BC.
