Kessarianí Monastery
(Sights & Activities - Sightseeing)
Mount Imittós
Athens
210-723-6619
Description:
KESSARIANI. This monastery is still maintained by a small group of monks, who make ends meet by allowing visitors to explore their historic residence. Although buildings in the compound date from the 11th century, the chapel's mosaics were not added until the 16th or 17th century. Unlike many monasteries, this one has remained Greek Orthodox since it was established. Its manicured grounds and gardens are popular for picnicking in the fine weather.
