Monastery of Gregoriou

The Monastery of Gregoriou is an imposing building above the offshore rocks of the southwestern side of Athos, a wonderful area between Simonos Petra and the Monastery Dionysiou. It was founded in the 14th century and is dedicated to Agios Nikolaos. It celebrates on the 6th / 19th of December. It was built by the monk Gregorios Sinaitis, who also gave his name to the monastery. The present “catholicon” was built in 1768.
