ABOUT

Entering the Holy Monastery of Arkadi evokes a profound sense of awe and emotion, as if the voices of the departed are speaking directly to you.

During your visit to the Monastery, several noteworthy sites capture attention. Approximately 80 metres from the monastery, perched on the gorge's edge, stands an octagonal building housing the remains of its defenders from the tumultuous year of 1866.

The remains of the deceased, marked by bullet and sword wounds, are displayed on a glass shelf.
