It was built during the Venetian period and boasts an impressive array of frescoes and religious artefacts. The monastery is an oasis of tranquillity, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards." After exploring the monastery, you’ll head up to the Hill of Prophet Elias, also known as Profitis Ilias, to soak up the insta-worthy views here.
