Positive: the road to monastery offers great panoramic view. Negative: the place needs more attention from those who maneges it. The main atraction - the holy water cavern - needs a little cleaning. The spring dried up. The ascet living there is not very welcoming. The souvenir shop has not too much to offer. Disappointing on the whole.

Drove all the way up to the Monastery, like we do every year. This year front door was closed, nobody answered the door bell. A phone number was at the entrance in case it is closed, but nobody would answer it. Few cars waited for a while but nobody came, so they left. As we looked over the fence we could see many fallen rocks inside and looked like is a deserted place. To sad we couldn't visit At Pantelimon 's cave and get get holy water from the spring inside

Very spiritual, quiet and beautiful orthodox monastery, run by nuns. This monastery follows the old Mount Athos tradition.The old church is very noble especially the old icon of St. Panteleimon imbued with gift of gratitude from the people who help them and listen the prayers.No cameras, phones or tablets are allowed inside the monastery.
