Tips

The Preveli Monastery has a special appeal for visitors. The location high above the sea, the centuries-long strength to resist Turkish rule and preserve the country's culture can be felt within these walls.
This continued when Allied (Australian) soldiers were hidden in World War II and were rescued by an English submarine. To this day, the monastery therefore receives donations from Australia.
