Holy Monastery of St Athanasios vavouri

The Holy Monastery of Agios Athanasios Bavrionios is a little lower than the village of Vavouri, built on a small hill, between Mourganas mountains, in dense vegetation. “It remains unknown when exactly founded. It is probable that it was built in the 17th century, but without historical documentation. As it seems, it has always been a small hesychastic monastery, without a lot of monks. In the years of the Second World War, it was fired by German occupation troops and today is entirely renovated. The Katholikon of the Monastery, which is probably preserved since the foundation, although covered with modern hagiographical decoration, preserves traces of older frescoes. ” “Access is made by 3 km bypass on the road that leads from Filiates to Tsamanta. It celebrates the day of memory and the recall of the Leiszanos of Agios Athanasios on January 17 and May 1, respectively. “
