Just outside Ioannina in an idyllic location with an amazing view of the lake, the islet and the city of Ioannina is the I.M Durahanis where the blessed elder Athanasios of Durahani lived and worked.
An elder who is now characterized as the Saint of the poor of Epirus because when he made the decision to become a monk he did not want to live in some remote monastery away from the worldly, but to remain next to the common people and through his work and his actions to help wherever and however he could.
So he settled in Durrahani rebuilt the Monastery from the ground up, later he created a boarding school, primary school and high school for children orphaned or from remote villages of Epirus and managed to unite an entire city and all together create the “Flower” of Epirus. A charitable foundation of a non-profit nature that stands next to any Epirotian who needs it.
