One of the oldest buildings in the monastery is the old Katholikon (St. Stephen's Church). It is said to have been built for the first time at the end of the 14th century.

Hiking
East of the Pindus Mountains, mighty sandstone cliffs rise to a height of approximately 500 meters. 24 monasteries were once built on their summits. Monks and nuns still live in six of them today. These monasteries are now UNESCO World Heritage sites and are often referred to as "floating monasteries" because they appear almost suspended in fog or low clouds.
