A beautiful lake on the property is abundantly filled with fish, and empties to form a small waterfall. Meals are eaten together, and the work, rest periods, and services are conducted according to the monastery's schedule. The Abbot, Father Dositheos, was raised to the rank of Archimandrite and officially enthroned last November. Father Dositheos is an Athonite monk with many years of experience in the monastic life. They come from several countries, including the U.S., and some have spent time on Mount Athos.
Visitors are welcome.
Overnight and extended stays are only possible for men, and must be arranged in advance. Lodging in nearby towns is also available, and information can be obtained through Father Dositheos. Due to the sanctity of the grounds and the fact that it is a monastic community, pilgrims are asked to dress appropriately. Men are asked to wear long pants and sleeved shirts. Women are asked to wear skirts below the knees, long-sleeved shirts, and are to have their heads covered with a scarf.
