Panagia Spiliani Monastery
Μονή Παναγίας Σπηλιανής
🎟️ Free entry
On the hill above Pythagoreio, a monastery built around a cave church reached down a long flight of steps into the rock. The cave is cool, candlelit and genuinely atmospheric, and the terrace outside looks over the town, the harbour and the strait. Ten minutes from the Tunnel of Eupalinos, so the two go together. Cover shoulders and knees.
