The Monastery of Agia Eleousa is a historic Byzantine monastery near the village of Lygia. It is situated in a lush green ravine. The monastery played a significant role during the Greek Revolution of 1821 and served as a refuge for those persecuted during the Ottoman occupation.
Near the monastery is a cave whose waters are considered holy. The complex includes the well-preserved Katholikon (main church) and a striking bell tower.
