What makes it stand out
The building’s position makes the relationship between religious life and the mountain landscape immediately visible. Approach the place as an active monastery, respecting its visiting arrangements and quiet spaces. A visit can be paired with Kosmas, provided the road day leaves time to stop without hurrying.
Planning your visit
Check opening, dress requirements and the current approach before leaving Leonidio. Park only where allowed and assess steps and surfaces for your group. In unsuitable mountain weather, remain on the lower coast and return another day. A roadside glimpse is not a reason to stop in a bend or narrow passing space.
