Απίστευτη θέα στο φαράγγι του Αράχθου The Tsoukas Monastery, dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin, is located on the homonymous hill, at an altitude of 760 meters, near the village of Elliniko in the Katsanohoria Municipal Unity. According to tradition, the was founded in 1190 by Emperor Isaac II Angelus, destroyed in 1736 and renovated in 1779. The Tsoukas is the largest pilgrimage of the prefecture of Ioannina and its feast on September 8 gathers a considerable number of pilgrims. He met great prosperity at the time of the Despotate of Epirus and became a religious and national center (in 1821 and in all the national struggles, he was a refuge of the revolutionary ragas). Tradition says that a picture of the Virgin Mary was found on the Tsouka rock and the Lozetsans, the inhabitants of Elliniko, built a small church on the hill of Ag. Marina and placed it inside. The image, however, was transported to Tsouka every night, thus indicating the location of the monastery's erection. It took its name from the top of the hill that is built, as "Chuka Antalta" in the Vlach means "high peak". Μονή που πρέπει να επισκεφθείς. Ευχαριστούμε τους πατέρες για την υποδοχή. Δεν προσφέρεται φιλοξενία προς το παρόν. Δύσκολος ορεινός δρόμος κυρίως για μεγάλα αυτοκίνητα, ωστόσο βατος για ιχ. Υπέροχο σημείο από άποψη θεας στο φαράγγι του αραχθου, Υπέροχο μέρος και από πνευματική άποψη. Beautiful spot with wonderful architecture. Worth it alone for the viewing platform Nothing so special about the itself. A clean, tidy courtyard with a small church inside with a very old wood carved temple. The real magic comes with the breathtaking of the Arachthos gorge and the cantilever balconies destined for the brave at heart visitors who don’t mind hanging over hundreds of meters above the canyon to enjoy the magnificent view. incredible and a beautiful, well preserved Beautiful place with amazing and friendly keeper The views are amazing.
