Santorini Churches & Monasteries
Santorini’s churches, chapels and monasteries are central to the island’s architecture, history and living religious traditions.
Panagia Episkopi
This Byzantine church near Mesa Gonia is one of Santorini’s most important historic religious monuments.
Profitis Ilias
The monastery above Pyrgos occupies one of the island’s highest points and is commonly combined with Pyrgos and inland sightseeing.
Blue domes and parish churches
The famous blue-domed churches are only one part of Santorini’s religious landscape. Respect worship, ceremonies and private property when photographing.
Visitor etiquette
Dress respectfully when entering churches, keep voices low and do not assume photography is permitted inside. During services, visitors should avoid disrupting worship.
