Symbolic ceremony at Prophet Elias Monastery

Prophet Elias Monastery

The monastery, dedicated to the ancient biblical prophet Elijah, is located in a town set at the highest point of the island of Santorini. From this point you can see all five beautiful islands of the archipelago spread out before you. The residents of the island venerate the ancient monastery of Elijah the Prophet. This is a unique local shrine, founded in the early XVIII century by two ascetics. The trim monastery is surrounded by a wall. Here you see a carved wooden templon. The monastery houses a rich collection of antique books, ethnographic documents and manuscripts. Legend has it that there is a hidden treasure in the monastery that can not be found, even if you destroy it brick by brick.

A wedding ceremony can be conducted on-site in the yard of the existing church in the village of Imerovigli with spectacular views of the sea and the volcano. A white church with a blue dome will be a perfect background for your wedding photographs.
