The awesome views of Pothia that one gets from the monastery is by itself reason enough to go but for the spiritually minded there is much more. Surrounded by stunning Byzantine style architecture the relics and possessions of St.Savvas who lived on the island at this precise location are on display for veneration by pilgrims. The main church is Stunningly decorated with religious murals and frescoes which make your eyes light up and which leaves you in awe. Overall it is a must when visiting Kalymnos.
Poti'den saat 12.00 de kalkan tur otabusleri (10 euro/kişi)in en gözde durağı. Kiliseden tüm potiyi kuşbakışı seyretmek ve fotoğraflamak mümkün. Kilisenin mimarisi ve duvar resimleri boynunuzu ağrıtacak kadar etkileyici.
Amazing Icon paintings inside. Amazing views of Pothia outside! Very knowledgeable guide giving detailed information about the history of the Monastery.
Ωραίο και θαυματουργό το μοναστήρι του Αγίου Σάββα εχει καταπληκτικη θεα στην πρωτευουσα,την ποθια και τα απεναντι νησιά ως την Τουρκία!
You need a car to get up to the monastery overlooking Pothias from a lofty height. Some interesting rooms to investigate but no information or anyone around. It's free but I would have preferred to pay and get some information about the premises and what life was like for those who lived/live there. Still worth a visit if you are in the area, though.
Noi siamo stati con il tour organizzato, e anche se in inglese ci ha spiegato tutto sul monastero e sul santo (Savvas) vissuto credo fino a 15-20 anni fa e della sua vita. Tutto pulito e bellissimo da vedere. Dal Monastero si godono varie viste. Ci sono da visitare la chiesa centrale e alcune cappellette.Ma andate con la guida se no vi perdete la metà delle cose da sapere.
Το μοναστηρι αυτο βρισκεται κοντα στο λιμανι του νησιου. Προκειται για ενα χωρο που πρεπει οπωσδηποτε να επισκεφτειτε!!!! Η θεα σου κοβει την ανασα.. Ο χωρος μεσα εβλαβικα προσεγμενος και με πολυ καλη υποδοχη απο τις μοναχες.
The Monastery is beautiful well worth a visit, it is so tranquil and serene, definatley a place you need to take a camera. We took a taxi to the Monastery as its not the easiest place to get to, the taxi driver said he was happy to wait for us while we looked around and then take us back to Pothia.
Dit klooster dat hoog boven het hoofdstadje Pothia van het eiland Kaymnos ligt is zeker de moeite waard voor een bezoek. Goed onderhouden en fantastische uitzichten over het hoofdstadje en de fraaie blauwe zee aldaar.
Went to light a candle and to show my daughter. Very atmospheric and beautiful views of Pothia. I'm told the shop is interesting too. Worth the visit.
