The Monastery of the Annunciation, commonly known as the Evangelistria Monastery, is a monastery dedicated to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary which sits on a hillside 4 km north of Skiathos Town.
Although some buildings are ruined, the church and accommodation buildings have been restored.
The monastery was founded in 1794 by a group of Kollyvades monks, who had left the monastery of Mount Athos after disagreements about matters of Christian ritual. They were led by an ordained monk, Niphon of Chios, and included Gregorios Hatzistamatis, a local monk who had inherited land on Skiathos from his father.
In 1807, a group of Greek freedom fighters met at the monastery and swore the Oath of Freedom on a newly designed Greek flag, a white cross on a sky blue background, which was woven on a loom at the site.
The Catholicon of the monastery is a Byzantine-style cross-in-square three-aisled church, with three domes, and stands at the centre of the complex. The iconastasis is carved wood and bears icons dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
A museum displays ecclesiastical artefacts and the loom on which the first Greek flag was made.
Today the monastery is served by only four resident monks, three others reside elsewhere.
A regular public minibus service operates from Skiathos Town bus terminus.

"In der Amtszeit des zweiten Abtes, Stephan Schrƶer (1976-2001), traten zahlreiche junge MƤnner der Gemeinschaft bei, so dass der Konvent zwischenzeitlich auf Ć¼ber 80 Mitglieder anwuchs. Dazu trug vermutlich bei, dass die Abtei durch die Arbeit in der Schule inzwischen in der Region sehr bekannt geworden war und durch ein verstƤrktes Engagement in der Jugendarbeit (JugendgƤstehaus Oase seit 1981) gerade junge Menschen anzog."
