Monastery in Skiadi
2020 Sep 26
The views are breathtaking. The drive along the mountains is sooo amazing. Then you see this small church on the mountains. It’s very beautiful, well maintained and renovated then and there. There was a man at the church shop and he was very nice. He even gave us some lemonade to drink. The history of the church is very interesting. It’s a must visit. We loved this place very much. From this place you can drive through „mesanagros“ as you can see the direction mentioned. It’s worth to take this road although google does not know it. The road is very nice and the views are breathtaking. It’s a must visit place and a must visit drive from this place to mesanagros .
Kalopetra Monastery
2020 Sep 20
It’s a small and cute monastery, at the very top of the butterfly valley. You can visit it before entering into the butterfly valley. It has some parking place in front of it. Interestingly, once you enter the premises of the church, you will encounter an amazing view of The Valley itself. It’s worth the stop. The monastery also has a small shop for refreshments that you can buy there, lots of benches and tables to sit and enjoy the breathtaking views, a small shop for goods, and a small tiny museum. The back of the church also has a toilet.
Nice little Orthodox Church ⛪️. Directly at the Main Street. The most historic icon of mother Mary with the child is here. The icon is very small to see, and it is located at the right corner near the alter. There are some benches outside with a lot of shadow, so nice place to also relax peacefully
