Moni Skiadi Monastery and Coastal View

Here is kept the icon of Panagía ("Mother of God") Skiadiní, considered the most valuable icon of Rhodes. The monastery can be reached from the coastal road. It was already founded in the 14th century

The Moni Skiadi monastery is about 7 km from Mesanagros. The monastery church dates from 1861 and is located on a plateau. The small cross-domed church from the 13th century was incorporated into the new monastery church and is the sanctuary of the new church. In the monastery church is the most important icon of the island of Rhodes, the Marian icon "Panajia Skiadini". This icon migrates to numerous villages on Rhodes during Lent and Easter, where it usually stays for a day. Most of the time, the icon is brought from village to village in parades. She only returns to the Moni Skiadi monastery church on the Monday after Easter Monday.

Picturesque (active) monastery with very nice views.
