Agios Gerasimos is the patron saint of Kefalonia.
The convent is built in a stunning location surrounded by vineyards and is the most sacred place in Kefalonia.
His nameday is celebrated on August 16th.
Inside the old church, there is the entrance of the saint’s hermitage. It can be accessed through a medium-size hole, but surprisingly enough everyone can pass through it despite their size. It is also worth saying that even though visitors might need to kneel while in the hermitage, allegedly they don’t get dirty from the muddy floor.
