Great expiriance. One of the monks living there gave us a guided tour of their small museum and explain all the historical things about ortodox religion, island, greece and the monastery.

Definitely a must see when in Lesvos, if you can, read the story of this amazing place before you visit. Monks very kind and discreet. Museum really worth it. Free admission

Hakkında

Antissa'nın yukarısındaki dağlarda konumlanan bu tarihi manastır, çevre manzarasına ve Ege Denizi'ne panoramik bir bakış sunmaktadır. Manastırda, Ortodoks mirasının yüzyıllarına uzanan Bizans el yazmaları, antik papirüsler, liturjik giysiler ve dini eserleri barındıran etkileyici bir müze bulunmaktadır. Kültürel ve dini bir deneyim arayanlar için huzurlu bir ruhani duraktır.

Gitmeden önce

Ne beklemeli

Manastıra ulaştığınızda sizi önce dağın sessizliği karşılar — avlu kıyıya uzanan geniş bir manzaraya açılırken içerideki müzede Bizans el yazmaları, eski papirüsler ve litürjik giysiler yüzyıllarca süren Ortodoks geleneğini gözler önüne serer. Koleksiyona yeterli zaman ayırmanızı tavsiye ederiz.

En iyi zaman

İlkbahar ve sonbahar başı en ideal dönemdir; rakım nedeniyle hava daha serin olur ve ziyaretçi kalabalığı azdır.

Nasıl gidilir

Midilli'den batıya, Antissa yönünde ilerleyin; yol yaklaşık 70–80 km'yi kapsayan kıvrımlı bir dağ güzergahıdır ve yaklaşık 1,5 saat sürer.

The monastery is very worth visiting. Awesome location, great views. BUT BEWARE: the young "monk" there gives 200% creep vibes. He made both the girls in our group feel VERY uncomfortable. Not recommended for solo travellers

A wonderful, quiet place. A tiny monastery, very well-kept. There is a museum inside, containing a large collection of books, papyri, liturgical vestments, headgear and jewelry. A beautiful view from the top, in a desert climate. Parking directly in front of Monastir.

If you are interested in the architecture and/or the unexpected rich exhibition of sacred belongings then this is a good place to be. Otherwise you likely still enjoy the view and the friendly monks.

Beautiful and quiet monastery with spectacular and commanding views. Bit of a windy road up and down but they are one way so not to bad to navigate. Little museum and stunning chapel.

Going up you have an incredible view that goes up till Molyvos. Definitely worth a short visit. There is no lunch or drink facilities, but there is a bathroom.

Very old monastery on the top overlooking the area. There is a small museum here. You can see beautiful flowers. Interesting views. Worth visiting before Petrified forest of Lesvos.
