Monastery of Saint Gerasimus, Kefallonia, Religious monastery in Michata, Kefallonia, Greece.
The monastery complex includes a main church, underground chambers, three ancient plane trees, and multiple wells across the property in Omala Valley.
Established in 1560 by Saint Gerasimus of Kefalonia, the monastery underwent several reconstructions after earthquakes while maintaining its original religious purpose.
The monastery holds ceremonies on August 16th and October 20th where the preserved body of Saint Gerasimus is presented to pilgrims seeking healing.
Visitors can reach the monastery by car or taxi from Argostoli, with regular transportation services available from the airport and major towns.
The monastery contains two underground rooms that served as the saint's hermitage, accessible through a narrow staircase inside the church building.
