High in the cliffs of Amorgos stands a ma­sterpiece, the monastery of Panagia Xozoviotissa.

One feels owe just by looking at it. The mona­stery is located over the crags of Profitis Ilias, 300 meters above sea level, south from the ca­pital, Chora.

Many visitors wonder astonished, how could hu­man hands have built this masterpiece? No won­der, also, why was a panoramic view included in the movie "Big Blue". The monastery stands out be­cause of the plain white exterior, great view to the Aegean Sea and beautifully peaceful and se­renely atmosphere.

The small chapel of the monastery has two in­scribed icons of Mary that proclaim, as tradition has it, its descendant from Xozova or Xozovo in Pale­stine. Numerous friar cells, refectory, kitchen, ovens, cisterns and wells are all built inside the rock providing a soul resting scenery. The monastery's saint's day, on 21 November, is, as always, one of the most peaceful pilgrimages for Mary, but many people visit on August. Amor­gos, the first fortnight in August, celebrates the mo­nastery of Panagia Panoxoritisa, next to Lagkada traditional village, where one can have full view of the inland.
