Ano Mera Village, Monastery Visit, Refreshment & Free Time

Next, take a guided tour of the nearby Panagia Tourliani Monastery, founded in the 16^th century, built by monks in 1542, restructured in 1767, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The monastery has a whitewashed exterior and a colored dome and features wonderful, unique island architecture, an ornately-carved marble fountain in the courtyard, an impressive marble tower, and a carved wooden screen in the church that was imported from Florence. From here, proceed to the peaceful little village-square for some Greek appetizers and 'ouzo' and free time.
