A holy place where you can feel how Christianity was 1500 years ago ☦
An engineering wonder. They built this on a basically vertical setting.
Great great place to visit
Magestic walk to the church up the mountain side
Very spiritual and amazing historical/ religious site I am still amazed how this place is carved in the mountain and how these monks live.
Amazing place to visit
One of the best Orthodox monasteries in the middle east in terms of spiritual life. Spiritual descendants of saint Paiisios the Athonite. Constantly referred to as the small Mount Athos
The road towards the monastery should be improved, it's full of stones which makes it unsafe especially as you walk back down. Other than that it's a very nice experience including the hike to the monastery.
After an uphill hike for 40 minutes, you arrive to Hamatoura Monastery. It's tiring but worth it. You will be able to see a unique view! The churches are beautiful, and what's better is the silence. Recommended! Just make sure not to go there on Monday, Wednesday and Friday because they close the doors and you won't be able to get in.
Best Place in the world
Holy and sacred orthodox monastery, a very beautiful spiritual place. The monks are truly kind and helpful, making the visit always worthy.
Orthodox traditional monastery
Very steep to get at, friendly monks showed us around, peaceful. You can swim in the river next to water factory facility

The hike to get to it is amazing also. Worth it!
Must visit. Uphill hike may be tiring.
Amazing view from the monastry, very helpful monks
May God bless and protect Yeronda Pantaleimon and the monks of the blessed Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos..
