A beautiful church featuring a Venetian bell tower and a domed interior.

From monastery to the cathedral, from the cathedral to a museum. A well-known path, just think about Aya Sophia, that was a Greek Orthodox cathedral first, later a mosque, and now it is also a museum. As the number of church-goer believers was decreasing, the churches started to get other functions. After arrival walking in the harbor, we noticed a Clocktower and a belltower behind it. Without knowing what we will see, we headed towards them. When we entered through the Clocktower, we realized that we're in Komiseos Theotokou Monastery. Inside in the courtyard of the Monastery-Cathedral-Museum, there are graves, and statues and a balcony going inside around the building, providing access to the rooms on the first floor. It is an excellent place to see all the attractions below in the atrium. Unfortunately, the church or whatever was closed, and since we had only three hours in Hydra as participants of a cruise, we weren't able to wait to catch the right time. Luckily my mobile is smart enough to take an enjoyable photo of a dark room, through the window. Komiseos Theotokou Monastery wasn't the first place where I had to practice it. Since I took the picture from outside, I even didn't break the rule, that prohibits photography inside the church. It was a pity that we had just such a short time since I would love to spend at least 1-1,5 hours there.

Calm, peaceful and beautiful place! Need respect for their culture and rituals. Better go there before 11am and then after 4pm (closed). Pretty shop with great souvenirs and their local handmade things. Church has amazing energy!
