Skiadi Monastery
Μεσαναγρος, South Rhodes 851 09
Isolated hilltop monastery guarding a silver-clad icon said to bleed when struck by a blade.
This guide to Skiadi Monastery, an isolated hilltop monastery in southern Rhodes, centers on the faint stain on a silver-covered icon of the Virgin, and the story locals tell of an Ottoman soldier who struck it with his blade. You'll hear what happened to his sword arm afterward. Look for the stain yourself on the icon's upper right cheek, faint but still visible today.
