This monastery was built on a wild and steep side of a rocky hill, which gives a breathtaking view of the site. The cells of the monastery have been built around the entrance of a "grand cave" (mega spileo). It is believed that an icon of Virgin Mary was found deep inside the cave. The monastery has a museum which contains holy relics, treasures and manuscripts. It has also a spring inside with pure and crystal clear flowing water. (Kalavrita, Greece / 2009)06 February 2010
