The place is really not very good, there is such a deception in front of the monastery, I did not even expect it. We bought olive oil, according to the seller, it is made nearby somewhere, but in fact it turned out to be sunflower, so it turns out in fact that we bought ordinary sunflower oil for 500 rubles. It is a pity that people are ready to fall into sin in such a holy place because of money.
Do not buy anything from the merchants here, they will throw noodles on your ears. all products are a complete toilet designed for lazy tourists. Just chat with them and go up further, everything is beautiful and necessary at the top. They sold me water for 50 rubles, which flows completely free at the top. Do not repeat my mistakes, I will have to walk these steps on my knees :))))
Shopping malls on the way to the monastery. The strange location of the souvenir market... People who aim at spiritual conversion go to the monastery, and on the way they are attacked by sellers. Aggressive marketing is very often used. They bought it from that one, buy it from me! In general, it's strange.
But it's useful to go there, great fitness. Which is what we were doing. By the way, the juice here is 2 times cheaper than at the waterfall. Of course, it's not natural, but it's delicious!
