Agios Savvas Tis Karonos

[Dominic]

We first discovered this abandoned monastery a few years ago, when we were out geocaching.Visiting again, a few years later, I am paying more attention to the architecture than cache hiding places. There is certainly lots to see, and it is a fascinating place to have a look around. Plus, as it is slap bang in the middle of the Diarizos Valley, you know you can make a day trip out of a visit to the area, if you want to...

Read the article, walk through the 360 panorama (woohoo!) and chat about it below...

Another excellent Blog Dominic. You certainly have the knack of finding interesting places.

Well it was a cache that originally led us to this monastery. Glad you liked the blog.

Some more information about the monastery and the surrounding ancient places... (particular on page 268) answering the question why it was ruined so many times...

Interesting link, ta. Their map is a bit more professional than the one I drew for the panorama too.
