Panagia Chrysopodaritissa Monastery

Panagia Chrysopodaritissa Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Erymanthos Municipality, Greece

Panagia Chrysopodaritissa Monastery is a male communal monastery built on a cave of Mount Erymanthos, near the bottom of the Peiros river valley and close to its banks, surrounded by ancient trees and gardens. Its first church operated inside the cave, whose walls with stalagmites preserve frescoes. The complex lies in the historical area of Nezera, in the Local Community of Chrysopigi, Erymanthos Municipality.

The monastery was established in the late 12th century and holds manuscripts and documents that connect it to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. These records demonstrate the monastery's role within the Orthodox ecclesiastical structure throughout the medieval and later periods.

The monastery takes its name from the Virgin Mary's golden foot, representing a spiritual connection to healing and divine care that pilgrims have sought here for centuries.

The monastery lies about 20 km by road from Chalandritsa, 40 km from Patras and 44 km from Kalavryta, in the Nezera area of Erymanthos Municipality. It is built on a cave almost at the bottom of the Peiros river valley, near its banks. Women may enter only on Sundays and on the feast day, 23 August.

The first church stood inside a cave whose walls carry stalagmites and frescoes; a 14th-century manuscript and 15th-century wall paintings found here pushed the foundation back to late Byzantine times or earlier. Hermit cells existed in the area before the monastery itself was built.
