Prodromou Monastery, Greek Orthodox monastery in Stemnitsa, Greece
The monastery stands within a hollow cliff on the left bank of Lousios Gorge, rising 200 meters above the river near Stemnitsa.
The monastery served as a refuge and medical facility for Greek fighters during the Turkish occupation of the 16th century.
The monastery church contains religious paintings from the 16th century and maintains a collection of 1000 ancient books and historical documents.
Visitors need to park their vehicles and walk 600 meters along a footpath to reach the monastery entrance marked by an old plane tree.
The monastery gate displays bullet holes from a failed siege attempt in 1779, serving as a testament to its defensive past.
