Monastery of St. Nicholas - Monastery of St. Nicholas

Πολύ όμορφη και εντυπωσιακή η μονή του Αγίου Νικολάου. Με την υπέροχη θέα του Ανήλιου μετσόβου απέναντι από την γέφυρα της εγνατίας. Μια τόσο παλαιά μονή αλλά και τόσο καλά συντηρημένη. Πανέμορφα διακοσμημένη με τα λουλούδια της. Αξίζει να περάσετε να ανάψετε ένα κεράκι.

Κατά την επίσκεψη σας στο Μέτσοβο αξίζει να δείτε και τη Ιερά Μόνη του Αγίου Νικολάου. Υπέροχο και ιστορικό μέρος. Πρόσβαση και με τα πόδια από το Μέτσοβο αλλά και με αυτοκίνητο στο δρόμο προς Ανήλιο.

Ένα πανέμορφο μοναστήρι με μία σπάνια εικόνα της Παναγίας θηλάζουσας, απόγευμα τις πιο όμορφες εκκλησίες, καθώς οι τοιχογραφίες είναι μοναδικές! Υπέροχα προϊόντα να αγοράσετε σε πολύ καλές τιμές παραγωγής των μοναχών! Τέλος δίπλα απόγευμα το μοναστήρι όπως φεύγετε στον δρόμο σας θα συναντήσετε δύο υπέροχους καταρράκτες!

Beautifull Orthodox Church, special for one unique fresca that could be seen only here.

Very old & beautiful It is nice to do some hiking to the Monastery from Metsovo

Very nice. We walked down and up from Metsovo, which was steep but worth it

A beautiful place and really kind hosts. Sightseeing is free. You can help the Monastery by buying things in the shop.

2nd of May 2022. Group of 3. With only 4 monks and one operator at this monastery, you can hear your own thoughts. With the devoutness, contemplation and prayers ‘hanging in the air’, you will calm yourself. This quiet atmosphere can give someone the sense of the beyond. Maybe you even reach the satori state. We enjoyed so much our visit, since the frescoes of the saints are all unique. We admired especially the extremely rare image of our Virgin Mary breastfeeding the small Jesus Christ. Moreover, this historic temple is so well preserved and polite Mr.Dimitris know its history. He told us all about the monastery’s foundation during the Byzantine era, as in the 14th c.. The painter Efstathiou made some of the wall paintings during the renovation of 18th c.. However, you can separate them with your eye with the earlier of 17th c.. Mr. Dimitris told us also how it has been renovated around 1700. Furthermore, its current form is due to the restoration work carried out around 1960, by the ‘Baron's Michael Tostista Foundation. While the outside chapel is dedicated to the new martyr Agios Nikolaos from Metsovo, who martyred in 1659. We also enjoyed the tour to the cellar where there was a wooden barrel for wine about 14 tons. Back home we tasted the delicious rubini wine Imperator and oak honey that we took from the monastery. Leaving from the monastery, as you are going down the mountain you will pass 2 crystal clear waterfalls. @traveladvicefromagreek
