This monastery, 12km north of town, is Psara’s main cultural attraction. It’s a smallish chapel surrounded by protective walls, and containing marble bas-relief sculpture and rare sacred hieratric scripts from Mt. Athos. It’s generally only open on Sundays, and best reached by car. The road meanders through rolling hills, scrubland and weird red rocks that comprise the island’s topography. The views on the last section of the road are stunning and on a clear day you can see Skyros, or even Mt Athos.
