Located in the southern part of the Greek island of Symi, in the village of Panormitis, it is believed that its construction took place around the year 450 on a site where an ancient temple dedicated to the god Apollo once stood.

Inside the church, there is the famous icon of the Archangel, the island’s patron and protector of sailors.

The Monastery of Archangel Michael of Panormitis is one of the seven sanctuaries aligned to form the Line of Saint Michael.
