The monastery of Perivoli is situated in a by-passing of the country
road Kalloni-Antissa, just
before the village of Antissa on the banks of the Voulgaris river. It is a women
convent dedicated to the Presentation of the Virgin and it was devastated in recent
years. In the past (at least from the 16th up to the end of the 18th century),
it constituted part of the men's monastery of Taxiarches Kreokopou, which is located
at approximately an hour's distance from Perivoli, on the top of Mt Chalakas.
The katholikon (main church) of the monastery is built according to
the type of a two-aisled wooden roof basilica; it is of small dimensions with
remarkable frescoes that date in the 16th century.
