Panagia Tsambika

Panagia Tsampika is a monastery of Rhodes. It is located on the east coast of the island near the village of Archangelos. It consists of the old and the new monastery, named by the locals "the High" and the "Low", respectively. The old monastery is located at the top of a hill, above the homonymous beach, while the new one is located lower near the national road that connects Archangelos with the city of Rhodes. The monastery celebrates on September 8 every year, at the Genesis of the Virgin Mary, while many faithful celebrants flock from all over the island.
