We tried to drive up as Google maps shows a road all the way to the top but it is not suitable for vehicles for the last 2.5 km and it was too hot to walk up.

Bad road for 50cc but with car it should be possible, walking by foot took around 45mins. There is a narrow path around monastery that leads to a viewpoint, just follow smiley faces on trash cans, stones etc.

Nice walk up through the shade of the trees, lovely views a short way beyond the monastery. Well marked paths

View is ok, driving up is possible, but not easy. Overall not worth it, too long of a drive for little reward.

I wouldn't say go to see the monastery as such as you basically skim around it... However, the views are spectacular. Walking shoes/boots are a must. I gave myself a break that day and wore light trainers... Not a good idea for part of the trail... Many picnic spots so take some lunch/snacks. The magnificent views will promote you into staying longer, so you may work up a hunger!! Fantastic walk and if you are not staying in Agios Mattheos, you should stop into the village afterwards for a nice refreshment, maybe visit the local bakery. Such a beguiling little village!
