Praskvica Monastery

Old Orthodox church on the half way to the top of the mountain. On the top you could find an obelisk to fallen heroes of the war 1941-1945. Actually, you go from almost autoroute to the top of the mountain by Egor's road. All the way you will find beautiful views of the Adriatic sea.

The monastery and area is a wonderful and peaceful place with a church and graveyard, offers also a good way up on top of a mountain with a brilliant view on Sveti Stefan. A must on your list. It’s also good to walk for kids. On top of the mountain you find also a well with fresh drinkable water.. it’s so amazing and lovely. I really enjoyed the sight and lil workout!

peaceful and serene place. we stumbled upon it by accident

There is a story that on the site of today's monastery was a church in the 11th century. The current appearance of the monastery dates back to the 15th century. It is believed that the main church was built by Balsa III in 1413. Napoleon Bonaparte's army ravaged the monastery and set fire to many books. The monastery was destroyed in a strong earthquake that hit Montenegro in 1979. The octagonal dome shows the numbers that were used to rebuild the monastery. There is an interesting story about the monk Yegor Stroganov who in 10 years built staircases from the sea to the monastery with one hand. Ask Father Dimitri to tell you that story. The place is great, rich in culture and history of this area.

Very beautiful Orthodox church with splendid views over Sveti Stefan. There is a walking pathway from Przno village all the way up to the main road , leading to the monastery. The last part over the main road is tricky as it's very busy and there is no sidewalk. But the beauty of the church and the views of the adriatic coast are worth it.

Positioned near the main road in direction Sveti Stefan - Budva, monastery Praskvica is easy to approach. Beautiful Orthodox monastery, with the path made of local stone, and the olive Yard in the background. Story of the monastery and its name is interesting and the views from the upper zones towards Sveti Stefan are amazing

Its amazing. We liked it very much. We prayed and made wishes🙏🏻

A peaceful and tasteful monastery. Relaxing and meditative atmosphere, scenic views and the start of a path to the Sveti Stefan view point above. To enter the monastery it is recommended to wear clothing covering arms and legs, for both men and women. Limited parking near the main road.
