Visiting a very old monastery

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

This monastery is considered one of the oldest in the region of Athens and was built in the 10th century AC

Here are some pictures from Sunday’s visit to the monastery of Saint Efraim.

Actually when it comes to holy men and places there is not much you can say. Picture speak for itself.

This is what tou see first. This path leads to the inner section
