The roadway is in satisfactory condition, with adequate parking facilities. The is of considerable size, but its aesthetic appeal is limited. Lovely place for those who likes to visit monasterys. This an old one with just a few nuns left. The garden is absolutely beautiful with a lot of flowers and trees from all over the world. The door is a bit special to open so we first thought it was closed when we arrived. But after founding out how it worked we entered this sweet place. Very interesting and beautiful place to visit. The inside of the church was spectacular. The Saint Ignatios is found outside the city of Kalloni on the island of Lesbos, Greece, and is also known as the Limonas or the Limonos (alternative spelling), due to the field on which it is built. The was founded in 1526 by Saint Ignatios Agallianos. The contains many important relics collected since its founding, and houses a library which contains many manuscripts and icons. It now has over 2,500 volumes of books and 450 manuscripts and Greek and Ottoman documents. Saint Ignatios is considered to be one of the must see places in the Lesvos Island, so we dis went to see it. Since it was off-season and the last week of October it was literally empty, the museum was closed since the priest was away but we did get to see the rest of the place. I loved it since it really looked like from the previous centuries. A very calm and peaceful place to visit and witness a part of the Lesvos Island. Also a great place to make photographs as we did! Well worth a visit. Its a working monastery, with a wish to build 365 small churches in the grounds. It looks like they build one a year, as there are a number with the year etched into an entrance lintel. There's a museum there with paid entrance, though large areas of the ground can be visited for free. I'm sure a donation would be very much appreciated though there's no pressure to do so. Really nice and serene place. Great museum that desperately requires the assistance of a professional conservator. Probably the biggest I've visited so far. Great architecture and history. Very inspiring place. Little pryer houses out skirts of the monastry is quite interesting. The paints on the walls and the ceilings of the church is impressive. Must see it if you visit Mtylini and love history. Stunning historical blessed monastary. Lovely little museum, open spaces, beautiful icons. They are doing a great job on the renovations too. Bravo sas! 👏🙏❤️ Quiet, beautiful monastery. A lot of flowers and pretty architecture. There is a little museum and shop, but they were closed Lovely peaceful place, visited on my own while the family stayed round the pool. Whilst wandering around was suprised to find some animals around the back; deer, Ostrich, pigs, goats.
