Little St. Anne's Skete (or, less commonly, The Minor Skete of St. Anne's) is one of four sketes attached to the Great Lavra of Mount Athos. It is located between St. Anne's Skete and Karoulia.
There are seven brotherhood houses (Kalyvae). The handicraft of the skete is iconography, miniature art, and wood carving; the most important houses of iconography are those of Ananias and Kartsonas.
