Monastery of Agathon, Greek Orthodox monastery in Lykhnos, Greece
The monastic complex stands at 553 meters on Mount Oiti slopes, featuring a cross-in-square katholikon with four corner chapels and two conchs.
The monastery dates to January 1401, though it experienced severe damage in 1822 when Dramalis forces set fire to the main church during conflicts.
The monastery museum preserves religious artifacts from destroyed churches, including crosses, holy vessels, and a book collection dating from 1551.
Visitors can access the monastery through two routes from Ypati Spa, with available parking near the museum entrance and facilities for disabled guests.
The monastery maintains 1,200 acres of land where peacocks, pheasants, wild sheep, and partridges roam freely within the natural surroundings.
