The monastery is the “new building” (but also several hundred years old) of the old monastery 400 m further down the valley (worth seeing!).

A scenic, scenic tour with two monasteries worth seeing along the way. This hike follows steep paths (mostly switchbacks), ascending and descending along the densely wooded Lousios Gorge.

Our tour begins over an old stone arch bridge over the Lousios River, close to the ancient cult site of Gortys (visited the day before). Shortly afterward, we pass the Chapel of …

June 4, 2022,Wanderung durch die Lousios Schlucht zum Kloster Panagias Filosofou

Today at about 34° dared a hike through the Lousios Gorge to the monastery of Timiou Prodromou. It wasn't my best idea🥵.
But the way was worth seeing. But the journey from Nafplio is anything but short.

In between a lot of up and down, which can be quite sweaty in July, but …

We visited three monasteries on our hike today. The cells and guest rooms of the Prodromou Monastery cling to the rock like swallows' nests and are supported from below by horse mackerel - adventurous and spectacular. After crossing the raging Louisios River, we went to the old and "new" monastery of the philosopher. The old one is a lost place …
