The oldest monastery on the island, which has now fallen victim to forest fires almost twice. The first time in 2000 there was severe damage and it is only thanks to the military that the monastery still exists. It is not open every day and only until 2 p.m.

10/2022: On weekdays there are almost always craftsmen working in the monastery and with a bit of luck you can climb onto the roof. The monastery courtyard as well as the panorama are worth climbing through some rubble.
