- Monastery of Hozoviotissa on the island of Amorgos - Greek island of Amorgos, the monastery of Hozoviotissa, Amorgos island in Greece. Let's visit the country of Greece and let's go to the Greek island of Amorgos in order to visit the world famous monastery of Hozoviotissa, the oldest cemetery in Greece.
The Monastery of Hozoviotissa in Amorgos is the second oldest in Greece built in 1017 and renovated 1088, built by Alexius Comnenus I. The Monastery of Hozoviotissa in Amorgos is literally hanging on the cliff side 300 m above the sea. The Monastery of Hozoviotissa in Amorgos was created as an ode (poem) to the Grace of Panagia, known as the Virgin Mary, which is the patron saint of the island. The icon is carried around to all the villages on the island every year.
A perfect blend of nature and the beauty of man’s creation, the Monastery of Hozoviotissa in Amorgos symbolizes man’s tribute to the Holy Mother. Built into the face of a cliff, Hozoviotissa monastery provides a breath-taking view of the sparkling blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Hozoviotissa monastery is with no doubt, the pride of Amorgos, with its pristine walls lined with portraits of monks and other leaders, the smell of incense and numerous little treasures. The monks, who act as guardians of this architectural marvel, serving psimeni raki (a local liqueur) and loukoumi.
The current outer look of Hozoviotissa monastery is the result of various changes that happened through time.
