Throughout its long history, Nisyros has been a place of intense spirituality and religiosity. Proof of this is the numerous places of worship, as evidenced by the remains of temples, the countless churches of the Byzantine and post-Byzantine period, and the humble chapels scattered throughout its countryside.

One is amazed by the variety and beauty of the religious sentiment that has been expressed on our island over the centuries with the numerous monasteries, chapels, hermitages and objects of unparalleled religious art (such as Byzantine icons, hagiographies, wood-carved icons, stone carvings, etc.), which compose a mosaic of rare beauty. This beauty is further emphasized by the natural landscape of our island, full of changes and surprises.

Getting to know the religious monuments and sacred memories of Nisyros, as well as the deep feeling they convey, is linked to the search for a different way of life, based on authentic traditional values. That is why the monuments of this place are not simply museum pieces or inanimate transmitters of information. On the contrary, they are a strong presence in the cultural tradition of the island, a deposit of soul, hope and renewal, and therefore they can inspire and give a different meaning to life to the visitor of the island even today.
