What you'll see
The biggest and highest of the monasteries, reached by a few hundred steps cut into the rock: a frescoed church, the old kitchen and cellars, a small museum and a room lined with monks' skulls.
A brief history
It was founded in the 14th century by a monk from Mount Athos called Athanasios. Until steps were cut in the 1920s, visitors and supplies were hauled up in nets.
