MONASTERY OF PANAGIA KYRA NAPENI - Rhodes

The Monastery of Panagia (Kyra-Napenis) belongs to the district of Napes of the town of Archangelos. The two-story church is dedicated to the Entry of the Virgin and the Transfiguration of the Savior. It was donated by the couple Nikolaos and Fotini Afantenos to Archangelos Parish. It was built near the ruins of an older early Christian basilica and a Byzantine church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a large cruciform temple with a dome and a tiled roof. An arched belfry with a manual bell rises at the entrance of the monastery. It celebrates on November 21 and August 6.
