A beautiful Eastern Orthodox monastery with unique frescoes built at around 1100 ac. on the north side of Mount Hymettus. The site has a far longer history as a cult center: in Antiquity, it was probably a site dedicated to Aphrodite, before being taken over by Christians in the 5th/6th centuries. The natural surround of the monastery is the best place for a peaceful walk and a breathtaking view over Athens! Don't miss it!

A quiet monastery and a great start for a walk up the mountain.

Καταπληκτική θέα δροσιά για καλοκαίρι, καλή βόλτα για περπάτημα.
