The Sacred Monastery of Alypios was located on the outskirts of Karyes, adjacent to the old Sacred Monastery of Anapausa. Its original name was "Monastery of Alopos". The name was probably given by its founder, who would have been called Alopos. In the eleventh century, the Alopos family flourished in Byzantium.
The Monastery was dedicated to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and is referred to either by their name or by the name of the Holy Apostles.
The oldest written testimony of the Monastery of Alopos is the signature of the Hieromonk of Hierotheos in a document of 1021. The first proper document of the Monastery of Alopos, which is preserved to this day in the Monastery of Koutloumousiou, is by Abbot Theophanes of the year 1257.
