Discovering the Enigmatic Monastery of the Egg | Unveiling its History and Beauty

Discovering the Enigmatic Monastery of the Egg | Unveiling its History and Beauty - Ιερά Μονή Αγίου Δημητρίου Αυγού - Holy Monastery of Agios Dimitrios Avgos
Join us on a captivating journey as we celebrate a special birthday at the secluded Monastery of the Egg! Situated near Pele and Trakia, this thousand-year-old monastery holds a wealth of history and surprises.
Experience the magic as we unfold our picnic treats - from savoury tikkonopsimo to juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and briny olives. Accompanied by Taki and Tanya, we venture to this hidden gem for an unforgettable celebration.
As we ascend the monastery's ancient steps, we'll explore rooms once occupied by monks. The valley below, with its serene river and picturesque landscapes, provides a tranquil backdrop for this historical marvel.
Marvel at the ancient Church atop the monastery, where ceremonies still occur. Discover the rooms, some available for overnight stays, offering an immersive experience into Greek history.
Navigate the winding dirt roads leading to this remote sanctuary. Is the mesmerizing view worth the 30-minute drive? We certainly think so!
