About the Monastery of Taxiarchis.
The Greek Orthodox Monastery of Taxiarchis Mihail Panormitis is the most important on the island and the second largest in the Dodecanese after the monastery of St John the Theologian in Patmos.
The monastery is located on the south end of Symi, situated on the seafront of the tiny village of Panormitis. It is a closed-in cove with a small sandy beach, protected by a narrow inlet that opens out into a wide harbor. The mountainous backdrop is covered with pine trees which give the area an ambiance of solitude.
