    The Monastery of Panagia Eleousa (Moni Panagias Eleousis), located in a verdant ravine near the village of Lygia, was built in the 9th century AD. It is named after an icon of the Virgin Mary, which, according to tradition, was found in a nearby cave.

    During the Turkish occupation, it served as a refuge for persecuted people and played a central role in the Greek Revolution of 1821.

    In 1863, the monastery was set on fire by pirates, after which the local people restored it and built additional fortifications.
