Holy Monastery of Venerable Father David

The monastery complex includes multiple chapels, traditional stone buildings, and religious structures situated near the village of Drimona on Euboea island.

Founded around 1540, the monastery experienced destruction during Turkish rule in 1824, with subsequent reconstruction efforts leading to the current buildings from 1877.

The monastery maintains an extensive collection of religious artifacts, including Saint David's relics, Russian stole, ancient icons, and traditional woodcut crosses.

Visitors can reach the sacred water source located one kilometer north of the monastery through marked pathways connecting to local transportation networks.

The monastery contains a natural cave where Saint David lived on minimal sustenance, accessible through a twenty-minute walking path south of the main complex.
