    Hiking

    Kalamítsia Monastery was founded by Jesuits in 1673, Monastery? With its building several floors high with a view of the valley and many outbuildings, it looks more like a luxury resort for discerning monks.

    The grounds and buildings are freely accessible. In the basement you can even find the house's own spring, which the farmer next door tapped to water his garden.

    Hiking

    In 1683, the abbot of Naxos, Roberto Sauger, began construction of a palace-like building near Kalamitsia, intended to serve as a retreat for the monks and for agricultural production.

    By 1835, the monastery was already in poor condition and was inhabited by only one monk.

    Today, a few 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 live there.
