The monasteries of Andros Island and their religious history
The respectable Monasteries of Andros make it one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Greece. The island has a long and significant religious history and tradition. Spiritualism always guided the people of Andros. Most of the Monasteries date from the Byzantine era, up to the last years of the Ottoman Empire. With persistent and often painful efforts, the monasteries of Andros have endured over time, and some of them have been restored relatively recently. It is of great interest that visiting the monasteries travels you through time and history.The miraculous Monasteries of Andros Island
