Monastery in Skiadi 🇬🇷

#summerdestinations Exploring the Monastery in Skiadi was a serene experience during my summer vacation in Rhodes. Nestled in the village of Skiadi, about 30 km from Rhodes Town, the monastery is free to visit, making it an accessible and enriching stop. The monastery, dating back to the 14th century, is charming with its simple, rustic architecture and peaceful gardens. The tranquil setting offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, perfect for a quiet stroll or some contemplation. The monks are welcoming and happy to share insights about the monastery’s history and traditions. After visiting, I enjoyed a meal in the nearby village of Archangelos, known for its authentic Cretan cuisine. The area also has lovely local shops to explore. The Monastery in Skiadi is a hidden gem for those looking to experience a peaceful retreat and dive into the local culture. ⛪🌿 #skiadimonastery #rhodes #explorerhodes #cretanculture #summeringreece #greekislands
