    The Monastery of Saint Gerasimos (here the entrance area) is considered the most important religious center of the island and houses the relics of the patron saint, Saint Gerasimos. Saint Gerasimos founded the monastery in 1560 on the site of an older chapel in the Omala Valley. He named it "New Jerusalem".

    Gerasimos lived as a hermit and was known for his asceticism and his healing ability. His incorruptible body is preserved today in a silver sarcophagus in the monastery church.

    The monastery attracts numerous believers, especially on the commemoration days (August 16 and October 20).
