Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary Tsambika (Kyra Psili)

Archangelos 851 02

Hilltop chapel reached by hundreds of stone steps, its icon said to have crossed the sea on its own from Cyprus.

This guide to the Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary Tsambika in Rhodes follows a shepherd near the spring of Aimachou who spends three nights watching a strange light flicker on the hillside above him, and what he finds when he finally climbs up to look. It traces how villagers tried to move what he found down to the village, and why the hill kept drawing it back. Climb the roughly three hundred worn stone steps and, on a clear day, the view stretches all the way to Lindos.
