Faneromeni monastery, Salamina
Faneromeni monastery, Salamina, Orthodox monastery in Salamina, Greece
The monastery stands in a pine forest on the eastern section of Salamina Island, positioned at 21 meters above sea level near the coast.
Established in 1682 by Lampros Kanelos, later Saint Laurentios, the monastery served as a hospital and refuge during the Greek Revolution of 1821.
The monastery contains frescoes completed by artist George Markos in 1735, representing traditional Greek Orthodox religious artistry and architectural elements.
Visitors can access information about the monastery through the Salamina Municipality website, which provides emergency contacts and visiting details.
The monastery transformed into a convent in 1944, with Christonymphi Tsigeli appointed as the first Mother Superior, now housing 18 nuns.
