O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Mjesto je dom živahne zajednice redovnika posvećenih očuvanju stoljetnih vjerskih tradicija. Sadrži zadivljujuću zbirku ručno oslikanih ikona koje privlače ljubitelje umjetnosti i povjesničare podjednako.
Istaknuto: Tajna podzemna kapela blista u treperavom svjetlu svijeća, stvarajući intimnu i mističnu atmosferu kakvu posjetitelji rijetko dobiju priliku vidjeti. Okolni maslinici proizvode jedinstvenu aromu koja se miješa s tamjanom, pojačavajući duhovno iskustvo.
