Stunning and majestic

Agios Savvas is on top of the mountain in Kalymnos. Very peaceful and spiritual monastery. It is absolutely beautiful and the view over the island is amazing. Go into the chapel and light a candle and you will embrace the peace within yourself.

One step below heaven one step closer to God....

Agios Savvas is one of the most perfectly situated monasteries on the Island of Kalymnos that brings one inner peace and closer to God. I can never visit Kalymnos without going to Agios Savvas! Iconography beyond aesthetic, historical and religious value! It is a place...More

Lovely view of the harbor

Located high on a hill overlooking the harbor, this is a lovely spot to walk around, take some photos, go inside and light a candle.

best view

i think this is the main attraction of the island. A monastery on the top of the mountain. Built on a rock.

Must-do while in Kalymnos

Beautiful monastery and it is simply a must when visiting Kalymnos. If you have anyone with walking problems. suggest driving up through the gates if they are open as there is limited parking up at the church itself. Very peaceful place

Must visit.

If you don't visit this monastery while visiting Kalymnos you're at a loss. Saint Savvas protects the island and if you visit and read more into his story you will be truly touched. A must do activity.
