Monastery of Agioi Anargyroi

Monastery of Agioi Anargyroi, Orthodox monastery in Ermioni, Greece

The Monastery of Agioi Anargyroi is a Byzantine women's monastery in the southern Argolic Gulf, about one kilometre from the beach and three kilometres from Ermioni, at the foot of the Agioi Theodoroi hill. It belongs to the Metropolis of Hydra, Spetses and Aegina. Its katholikon, founded around 1500, has a wood-carved iconostasis bearing a 1711 inscription naming the abbot Makarios Agoratos.

The founding date of the monastery is unknown; no written sources or archaeological evidence fix it. Architect G. Prokopiou of the National Technical University of Athens concluded that the present katholikon was built around 1500, possibly on an 11th–12th-century foundation repaired in the 14th century. A 1711 inscription on the carved wooden iconostasis names hegumen Makarios Agoratos, and a 1720 patriarchal sigillion of Jeremiah III confirmed the monastery's stavropegic status.

The monastery is dedicated to Saints Kosmas and Damianos, the Anargyroi, "the silverless", who healed without payment; it celebrates their memory on 1 July (the Romans) and 1 November (the Asians) with their mother Theodoti. A carved wooden iconostasis in the katholikon bears the inscription of 10 June 1711, completed under the hegumen Makarios Agoratos. In 1822-1823 the complex hosted delegates and meetings during the Third National Assembly at Ermioni.

The monastery sits about three kilometres from Ermioni, roughly one kilometre from the beach, at the foot of the Agioi Theodoroi hill in the southern Argolic Gulf. It belongs to the Metropolis of Hydra, Spetses and Aegina. Visitors should dress and behave with care, since it is a working women's convent.

The monastery's wooden iconostasis bears an inscription dated 10 June 1711, carved during the abbacy of Makarios Agoratos. A 1720 patriarchal sigillion of Jeremiah III restored the monastery's stavropegic status, exempting it from taxation and placing it directly under Constantinople.
