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.
