Monastery of Moundon
Μονή Μουνδών
A remote historic monastery valued for its secluded setting and extensive post-Byzantine fresco decoration.
Directions
Hidden in the northern interior, Moundon is a rewarding stop for visitors interested in religious art and the quieter landscapes of Chios. The monastery is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and is especially valued for its rich post-Byzantine wall paintings, set within a secluded monastic complex. Because it is remote and access can be limited, it is best approached as a planned stop within a wider Amani route.
