Kanalon Monastery, Orthodox monastery at Mount Olympus foothills, Greece
The Kanalon Monastery stands at an elevation of 820 meters, positioned 8 kilometers east of Karya along the road to Leptokarya.
The monastery's first written records date to 1638, with the construction of the All Saints Chapel containing notable period frescoes.
The monastery complex includes a three-aisled basilica, fortified walls, refectory, cells, and chapels that demonstrate traditional Greek Orthodox architecture.
Visitors can access the monastery between 8:30 AM to 12 PM and 4 PM to 8 PM, with prior phone confirmation recommended for guaranteed entry.
Four wild brooks named kanalia converge near the monastery to form the Ziliana river, giving the religious site its distinctive name.
