Your day begins with a visit to the Monastery of Panagia Eikosifoinissa, one of the oldest Byzantine monasteries in Greece, nestled on the forested slopes of Mount Pangaion. This peaceful sanctuary, steeped in centuries of spiritual heritage, invites you to explore its ornate frescoes, sacred relics, and serene courtyards, offering a glimpse into the enduring traditions of Orthodox monastic life.

Finally, end your day at the renowned Biblia Chora Winery, a scenic estate nestled at the foot of Mount Pangaion. Tour the vineyards and elegant cellars, then relax with a guided wine tasting featuring a selection of award-winning local wines, each paired with regional bites that highlight the area’s gastronomic heritage.
