Greece - Koroni, Monastery of Timios Prodromos

The monastery of Timi Prodromos is located within the walls of the castle of Koroni. It is still inhabited by nuns who follow the Julian Old Calendar. It was founded in 1918 by the monk Theodoulos, where he lived and practiced as an ascetic. It is a large, well kept monastery, both inside and outside with the temple of Timios Prodromos and a chapel dedicated to the Presentation of the Virgin Mary. The nuns are running a small souvenir shop (PiP4). We climbed to the top of an octagonal tower - located inside the courtyard of the monastery - with amazing views over the village of Koroni and the endless blue sea (PiP5).
