Traveler reviews
Richard Dakin
★★★★★2 years agoA beautiful Greek Orthodox monastery with 6 monks currently inhabiting. In a visit you might see them in the gardens as you take in the panoramic views which are fantastic on a clear day. We visited as part of a guided tour which meant we had a bus to take us up the mountain road.
Rafat Khoury
★★★★★Edited 3 years agoA beautiful 11th century Byzantine Church (Greek Orthodox) on Santorini, one of the oldest churches in Santorini. Nice location to see Profits Illias, and the coastline. Nice from inside and outside. A must visit when in Santorini.
