The area claims a fair share of history itself. One of the most important sights in Kolimbari is the Monastery of Panagia Odigitria dedicated to Virgin Mary known as “Moni Gonias” built at the very Western end of the bay. It was initially founded in the 9th century but in the 17th century it was built in the place it stands today. The Monastery has a fortress form overlooking the bay at its front. Through out the years it was raided and plundered numerous times by pirates and then by the Turkish in later years. It was actually used as a centre of resistance in the 1821 revolution against the Turkish Occupancy. Because of the care of its Monks, nowadays the monastery hosts an important collection of precious post-Byzantine icons, relics, and other religious treasures. A big celebration is held at the Monastery on the15th of August on Mother Mary?s day.
