Saint Nikolaos monastery by Sternes
Between the village Sternes and the Monastery Koudoumas, on the wild and arid range of Asterousia, we meet the abandoned village and the church of Saint Nicholas (Agios Nikolaos) celebrating on December 6th. The church was a dependency of the monastery Koudoumas and the settlement is mentioned in a document of 1577.
During the Second World War, in 1942, the monks of Koudoumas monastery were evicted by the Germans and took refuge in the monastery of Saint Nicholas, where they moved their relics. During the war, the monastery hosted the guerillas of the area.
