In addition to the above, in the context of the spiritual work currently carried out by Abbot Alexios, the creation and operation of the Holy Retreat of Timios Prodromos in Akritochori of Sidirokastron. This nunnery employs more than forty nuns, under the inspired spiritual guidance of the elderly Jacobi, performing a spiritual work that rejuvenates not only the inhabitants of the surrounding areas but also many other regions of Greece. A real jewel is the Katholikon of the Retreat, built in architectural imitation of Hagia Sophia of Ohrid.
