Moni Gonia Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Kolymvari, Greece.
The Monastery of Gonia Odigitria sits near the Gulf of Chania, constructed with thick stone walls and three-apse Catholicon church within its fortified perimeter.
Built between 1618 and 1637, the monastery endured multiple attacks during Ottoman rule, with a cannonball still embedded in its eastern wall from 1867.
The monastery museum displays Byzantine artifacts, including 15th-century icons of Saint Nicholas, the Transfiguration, and Mother Mary of Mercy.
Located 26 kilometers west of Chania, the monastery maintains regular visiting hours and houses the Orthodox Academy of Crete within its premises.
The monastery features a decorative fountain from 1708 and contains two ancient Monastic Codes documenting its extensive history through manuscripts.
