You will have to climb 300 steps but it's worth once you arrive to the top, you can admire the great view of Tsambika beach. Take a small bottle of water. On the top, you can refill your bottle. Also good for your legs...
Peaceful, and a lovely view, but loads of steps to climb! We got a taxi to the halfway point, and then you climb 300 steps. Taxis were 15 euros from our hotel in kolimbia to the monastery and then another 15 euros to tsambika beach.
There are actually two parts->>a beautiful and big church at the beginning of the mountain - easy to reach by car>> and a small but really astonishing church at the top of the mountain - there are only stairs till there. It is worth to climb up as there is a remarkable view.
Beautiful views with lovely little chapel at top.great for taking photos.climb was good with wide steps and plenty places to stop on the way to take in the sight and fresh pine scented air.
A small church on the top of moutain.. And I fell in peace with climbing the mountain. ..... Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
Up in the mountain, full of tradition, impressive even for non believers. It is a place full of quiet and peace. Fabulous view to the island.
Well worth the drive up the narrow and very steep road and then the walk up the 350, yes 350, steps. The small church is beautiful with its wax baby candles. The views are incredible. Do not miss this. Also the photo that you see on trip adviser is not of the monastery but of the church in Siana which is also worth a visit!
the monastery is nice and old but what is worth seeing is the view over the sea from the church of tsambika opposite the monastery.after climbing a lot of stairs you can enjoy the view
This amazing little monastrey is at the top of a mountain! we drove and then walked up about a 1000 steps in the baking heat it was exhausting but the views from there are spectacular you need to be fit though
The 300 steps are well worth the beautiful views of the Tsampika beach and the surrounding area. The monastery itself is quite modest but nice. Reward yourself afterwards with a swim in the beautiful Tsampika beach.
