Large monastery, it has stately fortress walls around and a few towers. On the walls there are beautiful od paintings with religious scenes. Sadly the big church was closed when we visited but it also has a nice smaller church full of paintings and history. Near the entrance you can visit a pangar / store with lots of church items for sale. Near the monastery you can go to a small fishing port and a small spring / fresh water source that is said it is holly because it is near the sea (10 meters or so), bellow sea level, an is fresh, uncontaminated with salt from the sea.

Out of this world, very nicely kept monastery but also one of the best in Agio Opos if you're a visiting pilgrim then this is a must,so much history and famous icons, situated on the sea front, find a monk to explain it all to you.

The Monsatery of Iviron is located on the east side of the Peninsula just next to the sea. In the center of the Monastery lies the church founded in the 10th century. The Monastery is well known for the feast on the 15th of August – day of the dormition of the Virgin. There is a huge feast and many pilgrims visit the Monastery for the picture of Panaghia Portaitissa.
