Kremasti
The Monastery of Panagia Kremasti is
located 18 km away from the town of
Pyrgos. The building of the monastery
stands majestic and lofty, essentially
hanging from an enormous rock at an
altitude of 334 meters.The construction of
the monastery of Panagia Kremasti dates
back to 1600, perhaps earlier, according to
some fathers. Reason for building the
monastery, but also to get the name
“Hanging” was the discovery of the icon of
Our Lady, hovering in a small cave in the
rock that seems to radiate.
