The Monastery has limited availability in their guesthouse for Orthodox pilgrims to stay for one or two nights.
We request Orthodox Christians to be in good standing in their parish and have a referral from their priest.
As a women’s monastery, we do not allow men for overnight stays unless they provide us with a referral from their Orthodox priest or are accompanied by their family.
