  Our visit to the monastery, had the feeling of climbing both the topography and the devoutness...!The ascent and turns leading to a hallowed place that reimburses all respects Here the spiritual exaltation and an exploded view of the island of Ithaca, coexist harmoniously in a perfect architectural temples excellent!The abbot of the monastery, ultimate host, enlightened and hospitable elder!Every detail in the interior of the monastery will let speechless..The same and the precincts of the monastery.The guest quarters, will be a reason to come back here.

  We had a very enjoyable drive up to Kathara although we were up in the clouds for most of the time. The restoration of the Monastery is excellent but more information about the actual history, buildings etc would have been very much welcomed, but you could hear the peace!

  The views from the monastery and the road to reach it out across Vathy bay are truly breath-taking. We went in the early evening just as the sun was starting to set and had some stunning views.

  Never thought such a tiny island could reach so high to the sky. Too far from Vathy for an easy climb, too close to miss. We hired a car and drove around the island and this monastery, or should I say the view from it, was a revelation.

  The view of the whole island is magical, the monastery is peaceful and beautiful! Really worth the visit !!

  A lot is made of the winding roads and goats on the island. Don't let this discourage you from making the drive up to the monastery. They were preparing for an upcoming festival and there was a lot of sprucing up going on but we were still allowed to wander. It is a very peaceful spot with great views. If you climb the bell tower the view is even better.

  Second time in Ithaca and this time I didn't fail to visit this wonderful place. We went up the mountain on a very windy day and it was an amazing experience. Yes, it felt as though we would fly. Don't miss it. Or leave for your second visit to Ithaca.

  The drive up to the monastery is a little hair raising and not for the fainthearted but if you have made it this far driving independently on Greek islands then it will come as no surprise. The road winds up and finishes at a spot with the most incredible views over the whole of the south of this island and beyond to others. The monastery itself was closed but the drive is worth it for the view alone.
