Hiking

The Monastery of Dionysios seems mystical as you walk among the ruins and restored structures.

Hiking

Unfortunately, the monastery was built by Dionysius in 1542. Unfortunately it was bombed by the German Wehrmacht in 1943 because Partizan settled there. The church itself has been rebuilt

In 1543 Saint Dionysius founded this beautiful monastery which was destroyed by the Wehrmacht in World War II. At the end of the 1940s the new monastery of Saint Dionysius was founded 4 km from Litochoro in the direction of Prionia.
