Private Monasteries Tour from Athens
Overview
Begin your journey through history and nature, visit to the Corinth Canal, a remarkable engineering feat that connects the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Enjoy breathtaking views before continuing into the heart of the Peloponnese.
Explore the Monastery of Timiou Prodromou, perched dramatically on a cliffside above the Lousios Gorge. This centuries-old monastery offers stunning vistas and a peaceful retreat into Greece’s religious heritage. Visit the Monastery of Philosophou, one of the oldest in Greece, and discover the Krifo Scholio-Secret School, where Greek children were secretly educated during Ottoman rule.
