★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting visit, relatively easy to reach. The museum in the monastery has many unique artifacts. Would have been interesting to be able to learn more about the living arrangements in these Monasteries.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting to see. Nice museum in this monastery with some amazing display of Monk's celebrating clothes. The interesting part is also a huge barrel that have been used to store up to 12.000 l of rainwater.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Agios Stefanos is the only Monastery (out of 6 in the area) that has no stairs to climb, but only a small bridge to walk over from the parking lot.
It's a female Monastery dating back to 15c.
Entry fee is 3 Euros like in every other, and if you came inappropriately dressed nuns will give you a fabric to cover your legs or shoulders. Small museum inside

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Breathtaking views of the monastery and the surrounding area. It is just amazing how these monasteries were built on these rocks. Then the beauty of the monasteries themselves is so impressive. It is just amazing to visit this wonder of faith and engineering.
