Its story

Aya Paraskevi Monastery was built on the slope overlooking Ayazma Beach, around a spring regarded as holy (ayazma). The tree-shaded courtyard and small church are an important pilgrimage site for the island's Greek Orthodox community; in summer a festival is held for the saint's day. It is a good place for a short, cool and quiet break before going down to the beach.
