Feast of Panagia Stylarini, Ammouliani
weekend after 14 September
Ammouliani was settled in 1925 by refugees from the island of Marmara, who brought the cult of their 14th-century icon of Panagia Stylarini (the original is in Koutloumousiou on Athos, the copy in the island's church). The feast is kept on the Saturday-Sunday after the Exaltation of the Cross (15-16 September 2018, 16-17 September 2023) with a great vespers, a procession down to the harbour and an episcopal liturgy with the Metropolitan of Ierissos. The season is winding down, so rooms are easy and the fish tavernas still open.
