The Skete of St Anne is a dependent idiorrhythmic (hermitage-style) skete, a monastic community attached to the more formalised Great Lavra Monastery in Mount Athos, Greece.
It lies on the shore of the Aegean Sea about 800 metres from the New Skete.
The hamlet of Vouleftiria is located in the lower (western) part of the skete.[1]
The kyriakon (central church) of the Skete of Saint Anne was built in 1680 when the skete was being enlarged by Patriarch Dionysius III of Constantinople.[2]
