Agios Minas (Greek: Άγιος Μηνάς)[2] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
The settlement is named after the Church of Agios Minas, known in the modern period as Megali Ekklisia 'big church', built in 1570.[3] The village was a chiflik of Artsista (modern Aristi) and the Monastery of Panagia Spilaiotissa in the mid-18th century (1752); in 1764 Father Damianos was the abbot of Agios Minas.[3]
