Hiking

The monks' cells (and guest accommodation) cling to the rock like swallows' nests and are supported from below with sticks - adventurous and spectacular. The monastery has lunchtime rest from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and the legs must be covered, but for women not by trousers but by a skirt. You can borrow these at the entrance.
Besides, I wouldn't think it's such a tragedy to be here during closing times. It's more worth seeing from the outside anyway

Clinging to the side of the rock, this is another truly spectacular monastery in Greece. Built in the 16th century, the monastery gives an insight into Greek Orthodox tradition.

Bear in mind that it's closed for a siesta from 1 to 5pm. The heat can be especially harsh here in summer. Men and women must cover their legs (you can borrow scarves from the monastery).

Great view of the valley. If you look closely, you can see the monastery ruins from the old philosopher's monastery to the north
