Just awesome, the walk up there is a pilgrimage, especially if you do it from Panormos🥴🤣🤣🤣,actually only 7 km but it comes with uphill/downhill on a hot day in June, so it took longer than expectedl😇. Up there, only staff was there cleaning altar utensils, so it was really nice after the long walk, just sitting there and chatting a bit Monastery is wonderful, you can see the monk's cell of Saint Savvas and lots of relics. Also how people asked for protection from the Saint and thanked for healing and good work life, offering their crutches and captain's hats. Very touching experience. Very friendly nuns there. And breathtaking view, especially if you walk up🤣. Come early in the morning, watch the opening times( closes at 1pm to 4pm!!!), You have the monastery for you alone. 100%...

It was a good walk up the hill to get there but it is definitely worth visiting especially if you are seeking some kind of calming divine aura in life, maybe from the passing of loved ones or just seeking spiritual peace...

Very very touching and impressive. You can also go up by car and drive to the monastery if you have any...
