Tsambika Monastery, Eastern Orthodox monastery on Mount Tsambika, Rhodes, Greece.
The monastery complex consists of two parts: the old structure at the hilltop and a newer monastery along the main road to Rhodes Town.
The site's religious significance dates back to the Classical period when a temple dedicated to Artemis stood here, later reconstructed as a monastery in 1770.
Following local tradition, parents who conceive after praying at the monastery frequently name their children Tsambikos or Tsambika in recognition of the blessing.
Visitors need to climb 350 steps from the parking area to reach the old monastery, situated at 240 meters above sea level.
The monastery houses an icon of the Virgin Mary that disappeared from Cyprus and reappeared three times at this location, leading to the monastery's construction.
