On 15 August, the Dormition of the Virgin, hundreds of pilgrims come to Pserimos for the panegyri at the Grafiotissa monastery, the island's busiest day of the year.

Practical

Expect the village bay and the Avlakia tavernas to be packed with excursion and private boats around 15 August, so arrive early or anchor elsewhere. Coordinate is the Grafiotissa chapel (OpenStreetMap).
