The Nea Skete or New Skete (Greek: Νέα Σκήτη) is a skete (smaller, dependent monastic houses) of the Agiou Pavlou monastery in the monastic state of Mount Athos.[1]
It lies on the sea shore between the Agiou Pavlou monastery (monastery of Saint Paul) and the Skete of Saint Anne.[2][3] and was founded in the 18th century.
The New Skete speaks Greek, follows the idiorrhythmic way of monastic life, and is inhabited by 40 monks living in 28 residences.[4][5]
