Katholiko Monastery
  • 2h
Situated within the Avlaki Gorge, Katholiko Monastery, it's accessible via a winding path originating at Gouverneto Monastery. Along the route, encounter the quaint Saint Anthony church and the revered Cave of Panagia Arkoudiotissa before reaching Katholiko Monastery. Founded upon Saint John the Hermit's cave, the monastery holds a rich history. Initially an ascetic centre, it provided refuge for hermits before evolving into monk cells. Today, visitors can explore the cave-temple, marvel at the ruins of hermit cells, the bell tower, and an impressive bridge spanning the gorge's river. Despite the challenging terrain, visitors flocked to Katholiko, highlighting its allure. Yet, piracy threats led to its abandonment, with monks seeking refuge at the Gouverneto Monastery. Legend has it that a large rock formation at the gorge's exit resembles a ship, believed to be a petrified pirate vessel cursed by the monastery's abbot.
