Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi in Agionisi

“It is located in the middle of Agionisi, a small pine-covered island at the entrance of Igoumenitsa Bay. Its foundation is unknown, but we know from old Venetian maps, where the whole island is called “Viralissis of Panagia”, that it dates at least since 1654. The history of the monastery is not known, but we can easily assume that due to it Sensitive position of the island, has been looted and destroyed in an older age. The small one-room universal is preserved, which is recently renovated, as well as some ruins of the cells and a well. ” On the outer west side of the temple there is a small lacking plaque, which is unreadable. It celebrates the day of Zoodochos Pigi, every Friday of the Diacanelos, so it is possible to access the sea by boat and / or boats, which run routes from Igoumenitsa to the island. The route takes a half hour.
