Mountaineering

The monastery (at least the newer part that is clearly visible) has been a construction site for many years. But it looks impressive from a distance. You can also start the climb into the Rouvas Gorge right next to the monastery. Either go right through the stream bed, or go left through the monastery garden (the gate can be opened).

As far as I know, the monastery itself cannot be visited, but it is beautifully situated at the beginning of the path into the gorge.
