Kyra Panagia or Kira Panagia is a Greek island in the Sporades archipelago. It is administratively attached to the municipality of Alonnisos. The island is also known as Pelagos and more rarely Pelagonisi. Its area is 25 km2 and has ten inhabitants (mainly monks). Its highest point is 299 meters it is around 3.5 nautical miles from Alonissos.
The island belongs to the monastery of the Great Laure of Athos, to whom it was granted by the Byzantine Emperor Nicéphore II Phocas in 963. A monastery east of the island is currently being restored and inhabited by One monk.
It is a fertile and mountainous island, mainly covered with low shrubs and wild olive trees. Kyra Panagia is today a nature reserve.
Kyra Panagia has two natural ports, Agios Petros and Planitis. Planitis is the surest of both and was a refuge for pirates in the Middle Ages. Planitis, is one of the largest and most protected berries in the Aegean Sea is one of the most beautiful places in sporades.
At one point, we talked about banning yachts on the island so as not to disturb the flora and fauna, but this idea was quickly abandoned.
The Neolithic village of Agios Petros, southwest of the island, houses a beautiful bay that has the same name.
