Geography - History
Agios Symeon is located at the foot of Mount Arakynthos (Zygos), northwest of Messolonghi at a distance of 8.5 km from the city center.[3] The name of the settlement comes from the historic monastery of Agios Symeon or Ai Symios, which was built in 1740 and is dedicated to Saint Symeon the Theodochos. It became known during the siege of Messolonghi because it was the meeting point of the besieged after their escape on April 10, 1826. However, due to the betrayal of their plan to Ibrahim, only a few of them managed to reach there and be saved. The monastery celebrates on February 3 of each year.[4] but for four days of the Holy Spirit and is one of the most important and most distinctive events of the wider area of Messolonghi. Since 2000, together with its surrounding area, it has been classified as a historical monument.[5]
