Monastery of Kleivokas, Orthodox monastery in Gortynia Municipality, Greece
The monastery stands at the entrance of an unexplored cave with a narrow diameter, positioned on a steep rock near Kontovazaina village.
The religious establishment dates back to the 16th century and holds numerous records of reported miraculous appearances of the Virgin Mary.
The monastery building follows the architectural patterns common to Greek Orthodox religious structures in the Peloponnesos mountain regions.
The site will become accessible through a new hiking route called 'Path of Hercules', connecting the villages of Spatheri and Kontovazaina.
The cave entrance where the monastery sits remains partially unexplored due to its depth and constricted passages beyond certain points.
