In Kimolos there are not only beautiful beaches, unique cuisine, hospitable inhabitants but also a special day on October 5 where Holy Osia Methodia is celebrated. It is a day of celebration dedicated to the saint of Kimolos and a large number of permanent residents and residents of different places return to celebrate it.
A few words about her history:
Osia Methodia was the third child of eight brothers, a Kimolian and baptized Irene. She chose to consecrate the rest of her life, after the death of her husband, in her cell which is still today inside the Castle, also known as “Stiadi”. She was a real “incarcerator”, since the only reason she came out of her cell was to attend the Divine Liturgy.
