Best time to visit

Rano ujutro ili kasno poslijepodne, kada su grupe turista manje i sunce prijateljski osvjetljava stijene s freskama.

Budget tips

Ulaznica je oko 5 eura za odrasle, jeftinije za studente i djecu. Ako kombinirate posjetu s obližnjim Zlatim pješčanim plažama, možete uštedjeti porodičnom kartom ili grupnim popustom.

About

Quick facts: On the cliffs above Golden Sands beach hangs a 40-meter-high rock monastery with about 30 caves, carved by Orthodox monks in the 13th and 14th centuries. Inside, remains of 14th-century frescoes depicting saints and scenes from the Bible are preserved.

Highlights: Here, the monks lived in complete silence and prayer, without any doors or wooden structures. The only way to the higher cells was by ropes and carved staircases. The most mysterious part is an underground passage leading to a hidden chapel where the monks stored relics from Turkish attacks.
