ალექსანდრე წიკლაური Thanks for the photo. Simonopetra is indeed perched high on a cliff, nearly 300 meters above sea level.
Николай Соколов Where and when was this photograph taken?
Георгий Кузнецов Beautifully hanging on a rock.
Степан Тарасов Where and when was this photo taken?
ვახტანგ დოლიძე Simonopetra is named after Saint Simon the Eater. The photo clearly shows how it is tied to the rock.
Анастасия Воробьёва I wonder if the monastery is open to pilgrims? And what time are services usually there?
