The Monastery of Panagias Elonas in the Eastern Peloponnese dates from 1300 but has been reconstructed several times. It was originally built on the site of a miraculous icon of the virgin. Since then the monastery played an active part in the war of independence against the Turks. It is accessible by a road which winds up the cliff from the rear.
