The Monastery Moni Dochiariou
According to a tradition the monastery has been established at 950 by Evthimios, a student of St. Athanasios. Historically, this can not be demonstrated.
In old documents, the monastery on the west coast first mentioned around 1030. It is believed that its formation took place before 1013. Apparently by a monk known as Docheiarios "(accountant).
