Many of the old Monasteries of Lesvos are still in use. Some have become destinations for pilgrimages while others carry on the spiritual tradions of long ago.
The approach and monks cells
Leimonos Monastery, built in 1523 is a large cluster of buildings between Kaloni and Filia. It is an important spiritual center on the island with a museum, a library and social services. Overnight stays are possible. They have a festival here celebrating Ag. Ignatious on the second weekend of October.
But Aye you’ve guessed it
Ooh this place is not so Greek looking. No blue and white. Too cultural for me maybe. Still good pics though xx
