With the elder and leader Nektarios Moulatsiotis, the erection of the monastery began in 1991, in order to save the souls of the hermits as well as to become another defender of Orthodoxy nowadays. From a small prefabricated house with three small cells and a small inner chapel, the place has now been transformed into a small paradise and a complete large monastic building, where nowadays dwell 16 nuns.
Their occupations are many and various: incense production, candle making, hieroraptiki (sewing church clothing), apiculture, hagiography, manufacture of ecclesiastical items, Easter candles and Christian prayer breads bracelets and keeping animals (hens, sheep and cows). Besides those occupations, in the Holy Monastery of Saint Nektarios, various vegetables are also cultivated, while various pasta and cheese products are made of animal ingredients.
In 1995, the cemetery of the monastery was completed in the form of an ancient catacomb that revives in the hearts of those who see it, the lives of the early Christians and the martyrs of the early Christian centuries.
In the monastery, a piece of the holy relic of Saint Nektarios (9 November) is kept, as well as the zostiko (garment of the monk) and the Epanokalymafcho (black fabric that is deposited on the kalymafchi (cover of the head of priests of the East Orthodox Church, which is cylindrical with a brim at the top) and is worn by single clergymen as a badge of their monastic property) of Saint John Maximovich (2 July). The Holy Monastery celebrates on August 27 the memory of Saint Fanourios the Great Martyr.
