Holy Monastery of Archangel Michael

The Holy Monastery of Archangel Michael is the largest monastery on the island of Thassos and is located 33km from the village of Limenas. It is built on a large rock on the cliff above the sea and overlooks Mount Athos and the Aegean. Here are kept nails from the crucifixion of Christ and a piece of Holy Material. In 1974, nuns came with a devout monk, where they worked, and with many donations from the faithful, the monastery acquired a large fortune. Today it is a women's monastery, dependent on the Mount Athos monastery of Philotheos.
