Holy Monastery of Saint Paraskevi

An absolutely breathtaking place to visit! The Holy Monastery of Saint Paraskevi is perched on the edge of the Vikos Gorge, offering some of the most stunning views in all of Greece. The short walk from Monodendri village is scenic and peaceful, and once you arrive, the combination of history, tranquility, and natural beauty is truly moving. A must-see spot in Zagori – spiritual, serene, and unforgettable.

Nice walking of 600m from Monodendri to the monastery. The monastery is not operative, but this 600 years old monastery has beautiful frescos inside its church, and is nicely built with local stones and tiles, located just on the cliff of the gorge. Great view of Vicos canyon. Also nice cafes and restaurants at beginning of the way down to the monastery, with good local pastries.

This old monastery is highly worth visiting. It offers amazing views over the Vikos George. Very friendly and welcoming people operate the shop inside and provide information on the monastery. The monastery can be reached from the nearby village after a 600 meter hike.

An enchanting place of worship that represents the Greek resilience. A great place for soul-searching and an ideal refuge from the noise of the city. The crew in the shop and the male usher in front of the main structure are all very soft-spoken and kind.

Small monastery, dated back to the beginning of the 15th century, situated in the fantastic landscapes of Viko gorge. There are three entrances there: one to the small church, where you can still see the old painting, one to a small shop with religious objects and another one to a spectacular view over Viko gorge.

It's not a difficult walk to the monastery and the view is simply spectacular. The monastery is no longer active but is maintained and there is a souvenir shop.

It's small but lovely. The way down is easy and you can good eat in the restaurants in the village above.

A quiet and picturesque stone monastery located in a really beautiful location with a spectacular view. The hand-made pictures of Saints and the surrounding nature that are sold there are pieces of great artistry. It is great that troubled young people have found solace in creating them and it is thanks to this monastery that they have found the chance to. Only a few minutes of easy walk away from Monodendri, it is really worth visiting.
