A very beautiful, quiet place. The official opening is at 10 a.m., I came a little earlier and sat down to wait at a distance, on a bench under a large tree, but one of the employees called me and said that I could enter — the doors were open.
The upper floors are being renovated inside, wooden beams and scaffolding are everywhere, but the main hall on the ground floor is functioning.
Headscarves and pilgrim skirts are provided for girls: everything just lies on a chair at the entrance, those in need can take it themselves for free.
Also, apparently, you can buy local vegetables (everything grows around the hermitage, from tomatoes to corn), weighing and paying yourself.
A wonderful place, in general.

We got to the Hermitage on foot from Mount Athos. The territory is well maintained. While we were getting there, we were tired and hungry, the workers who look after the hermitage were fed and watered, good-natured people😊

Not a bad walk from New Athos. The steep climb is only at the beginning. The road is not loaded with transport. Take a walk, get some fresh air, listen to the birds - that's the thing. On the way, you can visit the "Three Cauldrons" and four monastic bridges. On the second bridge, you can go down to the riverbed, but not all.
