Монастырь Пресвятой Богородицы Высокой

One of the amazing monasteries of the island. It was founded in the 9th century. Shrines: a miraculous fresco of the Most Holy Theotokos "The Tsaritsa", many relics of saints, a lifetime portrait of Admiral Fedor Fedorovich Ushakov. How to get there. 1. On Google - you don’t need to go to the navigator - you will end up in such a jungle that you will not get out of there. It is better to set Magoulades in the navigator first, and after the village it’s already the coordinates of the monastery. 2. But it is better to get to the following landmarks. Supermarket Dielas in Sidari. Before it, turn left (the supermarket remains to your right). Drive straight ahead in the direction of Μαγουλάδες (Magoulades). You need to drive through the entire village of Magulades on the main village road (at the first fork in the village to the left). At the end of the village there will be a small temple with a red dome. Right after it, follow the sign. Then all the time right along the main road leading to the top of the hill. In front of the summit is another pointer - a sharp right-up turn Ιερά Μονή Παναγίας Υψηλής. Attention!!! The bus does not pass through the village, only a car and a minivan !!! On weekdays, the monastery can be reached only by prior arrangement with the abbot !!! On Sundays and major holidays, the monastery is open at the Liturgy from 8:30 to 13:00. You can only get by car. Regular bus goes only to Sidari, from there in a pinch in a taxi. The bus to the village itself runs once a day on weekdays, there are no buses on weekends. Walk from Sidari an hour ...
