Moni Myrtidion, Orthodox monastery in Kythira, Greece
The Monastery of Virgin Myrtidiotissa stands in the western section of Kythira island, encircled by pine trees at an elevation of 110 meters.
The monastery construction began in the 19th century upon earlier foundations, replacing a former church that marked the location of an important religious discovery.
The monastery functions as the central spiritual institution of Kythira, with regular ceremonies and prayers occurring throughout the religious calendar year.
Visitors can access the monastery premises from Monday through Saturday, with opening hours scheduled between 9:00-14:00 and 18:00-20:00.
The monastery houses an ancient icon with no visible facial features, which local traditions attribute to the handiwork of Luke the Evangelist.
