The Monastery of Agios Georgios Krimnon (Greek: Moni Agiou Georgiou Krimnon / Μονή Αγίου Γεωργίου Κρημνών) is a fascinating Orthodox male monastery in the northwest of Zakynthos, near the villages of Volimes and Anafonitria. It is primarily known for its historically rich architecture and its immediate proximity to the world-famous viewpoint of Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach).
The most striking feature of the complex is the well-preserved, circular stone tower dating back to 1561. It was built to protect the monastery and its inhabitants from the frequent pirate raids in the Ionian Sea at the time.
