Ο ναός της Παναγίας Κουζελιώτισσας βρίσκεται εντός του περιβόλου της Μονής Μεγίστης Λαύρας του Αγίου Όρους, λίγα μέτρα από την κεντρική πύλη της, το πρώτο κτήριο που συναντά κανείς μόλις περάσει τη βαριά ξύλινη πόρτα. Είναι αφιερωμένος στα Εισόδια της Θεοτόκου και θεωρείται ως το δεύτερο καθολικό της μονής, ενώ είναι γνωστός και ως ναός της Πορτάρισσας ή της Οικονόμισσας ή της Κουκουζέλισσας.

Στη Μονή Ιβήρων ανήκει η Σκήτη Τιμίου Προδρόμου, που απλώνεται σε πλαγιά δυτικά της μονής και σε απόσταση μισής ώρας από αυτήν μέσα από δασικό δρόμο. Έχει μορφή οικισμού με καλύβες και Κυριακό και είναι ιδιόρρυθμη. Δεν είναι εξακριβωμένη η χρονολογία της συγκρότησης του οικισμού σε σκήτη.

Οι περισσότερες από αυτές είναι σήμερα ερειπωμένες.
