The Monastery is located in the western part of the island, four kilometers from Chorio and is dedicated to Archangel Michael Taxiarchis.
Entering the monastery's grounds, the visitor is impressed by the tall umbrella-shaped cypress that adorns it.
In the past, the Monastery was a Patriarchal Cross. It consists of two churches of intense architectural interest, the old, lower church, which has interesting frescoes from the 15th century, and the new or upper church, which also has remarkable frescoes.
On November 8, the feast day of Archangel Michael, a festival is held near the large cypress tree in the yard.
