Monasteries In Greece

Orthodox Christianity, the dominant form of religion in Greece, has a long and rich history of monasticism. Many of the lovely Byzantine monasteries that dot the Greek landscape are still fully-functioning spiritual retreats for Orthodox monks and nuns, and most of them welcome visitors. Below is an illustrated index of the 10 Monasteries in Greece profiled on Sacred Destinations so far. For photo credits, please see corresponding articles.
