PANAGIA TIS VRISSIS
The Monastery of Panagia tis Vrissis, or Lady Vrissiani, is situated at a settlement called Exabela a little further along Apollonia. It was built in the 17th century on a site where the old chapel of Agios Antonios existed earlier, and for a long period of time, it has been declared property belonging to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. In the interior of its katholikon (lodger), a remarkable wood-carved screen is preserved, as well as old icons, beautiful frescoes and a small collection of rare manuscripts and ecclesiastical gems. On September 8th, the Monastery feast-day, a huge festival takes place which attracts a lot of pilgrims from all over Milos.
