Very beautiful and historic old monastery. I come here every easter! The nature around the is calming and makes for a nice place to walk around. Founded in 1578 on a place of an old sanctuary of Athina now 2300 years ago. I didn't see mentioned anything about the old sanctuary, would be nice to be something small mentioned what was there before. We parked up and had a look around the and the church, both are very well maintained. There are toilets available for public use in the courtyard. המסלול חשוף לשמש ללא צל. העליה תלולה לקראת הפסגה, מסלול לא קל, ארוך. נוף מקסים משקיף לכל אתונה מלמעלה Beautiful and grounds, worth exploring The is fascinating with beautiful frescoes and atmosphere. The monks are very kind, full of love and compassion. And the sound of the bells is like a prayer. It's worth spending time here to calm the soul and the body. Beautiful grounds and church that offers confession. It's very quiet and solemn. The clergy are very friendly. Although I only know a little Greek, they are enthusiastic to guide me. I feel God's favor. I am happy about this. This may not be a tourist attraction, and I don't want many tourists to destroy the peace here! Pray in the church and hope to dedicate this peace to those who believe in him! When God's guidance favors this world, there will be no more wars and dictators. I love it here! I am also very lucky that God led me here and I live in such a beautiful country! Holly monastery. Calm and silent place. It is in a quiet area and have a nice conference Center I am on a week long pilgrimage in Attica visiting from California. Day after Christmas, I spent an hour in the Katholikon alone when the attendant unknowingly locked the door and left without walking inside the chapel to check. I was sitting near and left of the iconostasis, 50 yards from the entrance and I don't talk loud in Orthodox churches let alone screaming to grab the attendant' attention. An hour later, a kind pilgrim lady saw me inside from outside and went about the and found two monks to open up the entrance. Once they opened the door, they saw me walking to them and were kind and prayerful with a few words in English. I didn't mind to sit there for another 3 hours to pray and meditate waiting for the vespers to start and the entrance be unlocked. But I am on my way to Hosios Loukas a two-hour drive. Here in moni penteli you find a wonderful mix of old and restored/knewly painted wall frescos playing with light beams through the small mirrors.
