Monastery with dozens of chapels
A trip to the monastery of Moni Limonos is most often taken from the town of Kalloni, located on the main road connecting the north with the south of the island. In addition to its own large building surrounding a large green patio, the nearby surroundings of the monastery are also interesting, where there are a large number of other chapels and churches. Count on the tour around the watch. It is ideal to visit in the early evening, when the sun will not shine „in your eyes“.
