Kyra Eleoussa

The monastery of Kyra Eleoussa belongs to that of Agaranthou and is near the village of Voritsi, at the area of Gouves.
It is a fortress type monastery and the loopholes are still visible on the eastern side. Significant ruins, of great archaeological value, are still standing.
Taking advantage of the different heights on which it is built, the monastery spreads out on different levels with communicating staircases. The monks cells were built in the south, south-western and eastern sides. The main entrance is triangular in shape and lies to the north-eastern side; there is a secondary, less important entrance to the north-west. A small patio at the main entrance leads off to the ancient olive-press and storerooms. A stone staircase leads to the vegetable garden.
