Sightseeing

Agia Fotini Cave and Monastery is a beautiful place to visit and just a hike away from the Village of Avdou. The entrance of the cave is shaped into a spectacular and steep rocky cliff, formed by the sharp collapse of the limestone,and accessed via the trail that starts from the church of Agia Anna. The view from the entrance to the valley of Avdou, known as Langada, is magnificent. Near the other edge of the room, a small space serves as a “holy altar” and above it, there is a “balcony”. According to tradition, Saint Fotini looked to find a quiet and secluded part, so as to dedicate the rest of her life to God alone.
