Monastery built on a rock in the 14th century with a museum and chapel with frescoes. Magnificent view and more like a palace than a monastery.

Hiking
East of the Pindus Mountains, mighty sandstone cliffs rise to a height of approximately 500 meters. 24 monasteries were once built on their summits. Monks and nuns still live in six of them today. These monasteries are now UNESCO World Heritage sites and are often referred to as "floating monasteries" because they appear almost suspended in fog or low clouds.
