After a pretty hair-raising drive (or a long walk up the mountain), this monastery really isn’t disappointing! Built into the rocks / cliff side, it boasts beautiful scenery and has quite a magical feel to it. A lone nun lives there for ten months of the year and so it is worth taking her some provisions if you feel like being generous.

you have to be careful driving in the slopes of the mountain in order to get an approach to the monastery. Parking is easy to find. the view is sensational, the atmosphere as you enter the monastery is magical, absolute peace and silence will calm you down. You must take a look at the temple of the small church inside the monastery, it is really beautiful. The drawings on the inner surface of the dome show the 4 stages of Christ-life, showing the genesis, baptism, crucifixion, and ascension.

Great place situated by an old harbour, and right next to a very refreshing cold water source coming from under the mountains to the sea. Angeliki (I think she is the owner) is super friendly, nice frappé and the place is altogether quite chilled out.
