If you don't have much time and want to learn about the monastic life as much as possible, this monastery is your best choice. You can't call it an easy access monastery, as St.Stephen nunnery is. But the stairs are quite manageable even for people who are afraid of stairs ( you can lean most of the way either on the wall or on a rail). There's the barrel for storage, there's the pull system and the movie in the museum to explain how exactly it operated. The museum is really nice and informative.

Very nice to visit. The artwork is beautiful. Be sure to have comfortable shoes and women should wear dresses or bring a wrap to put over pants. You can purchase a wrap before entering if you didn’t come prepared

Stunning! Must see. Please dress appropriately as it is a monastery. Women must wear long skirt or dress (not pants) and men must wear long pants. Entrance is 3 euro, the view is amazing and the museum tells the history andife.of the monks. Very interesting and fascinating hermit life in solitary spirituality.

If you anywhere(!) in Greece this is a must-see area! Don't worry too much about any of the monasteries being closed... You're going for the amazing views!

One of the monasteries that is open to visitors. The monks live there have done a marvelous job in maintaining the place. Please beware of dress-codes for visitors. Wheelchairs and baby strollers not accessible due to steps that lead up to the monastery.
