The monastery of Agia Moni (Holy Monastery) is situated northwest of the village of Diakofti, 30 km away from Kythera. It was built in 1840 and dedicated to Our Lord the Saviour. Tradition claims that the monastery's holy icon was found in the bushes by a shepherd, in 1759. It is said that Theodoros Kolokotronis prayed here for a successful outcome to the Greek Revolution. To thank the Lord, he helped renovate the monastery in 1822. On August 6, the monastery's nameday, a multitude of pilgrims come here to pay their respects to the miraculous icon.
