The main church of St Nikolas, has services on Saturdays from about 7.00 pm and Sundays from about 7.30 am.
Anyone is welcome, just buy a candle and leave when you please. The church interior is very beautiful and well worth a visit, though it is difficult to find it open outside service times.
A new (donated) set of bells has been installed, with varied and attractive peals, a welcome replacement for the previous monotonous toll…
Other churches throughout the island are open to individual worshippers and visitors, though the church of the Virgin Mary at Chorio is kept locked (to protect its valuable frescos) except on specific Festival days – e.g. 14th August.
Restoration work has greatly improved the aspect of this small monastery, some 15 minutes above Chorio, up a bulldozed track to the right. The ancient Byzantine church and the main buildings are undergoing refurbishment.
The Monastery is situated on the high plateau almost at the western end of the island. It is at least 2 hours 15 minutes walk from Emborio, up the concrete road. Drinks can be bought from the caretaker or his wife, and it is possible, by arrangement with them, to stay the night in one of the simple rooms off the peaceful courtyard with its ancient spreading cypress tree. No charge is set for a stay - just make a donation. Although many people get lifts or take the taxi, the best way to appreciate the awesome views is on foot.
