THE MONASTERY OF PANAGIA HOZOVIOTISSA.

There are 300 steps that separate the visitor from the entrance to the monastery. Another 900 years separate him

from the monastery's establishment. That which unites everyone no matter who visits the monastery is the awe and

the admiration for this important work, a memorial hymn for the human faith and will. In a rough landscape of unbelievable

beauty and wildness, loyal people overcame their weaknesses and managed what today is known as a small miracle.

Built upon steep rock cliffs it hangs into an abyss as if touched by the hand of God.
