Its story
Ayışığı Monastery is the remains of a Greek Orthodox monastery among pine forests on the north coast of Cunda Island. Dedicated to Agios Georgios, the building was abandoned after the population exchange and gradually fell into ruin. It is said to take its name (Moonlight) from its sea-facing walls, which shine in the moonlight. Together with the paths down to Patriça cove, it is a quiet spot for walking and watching the sunset.
