Moni Myrsinidiou (Myrsinidi Monastery) was founded by monk Christoforos Seremelis (1897). It is dedicated to Panagia Myrtidiotissa (Virgin of the Myrtles), after the miraculous icon, which the monk found in the sea that the monastery overlooks. The monastery celebrates on September 24 when crowds of worshippers come to honour Her Grace.
The monastery offered valuable philanthropic services during the German occupation as well as during the resistance movement of World War II.
