Hozoviotissa Monastery by Alona Azaria
The Monastery of Hozoviotissa in Amorgos is the second oldest in Greece. Hanging on the cliff side 300 m above the sea., it creates a perfect blend of nature and man’s creation. Built into the face of a cliff, it provides a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea. The monks, who act as guardians of this architectural marvel, serving psimeni raki (a local liqueur) and loukoumi. While climbing up the 300-plus stairs, l encountered goats, cats, herbs and shrubs – amongst others – the delicacy of Greece – capers leaves, which grow freely on the rocks leading to the Monastery. I had experienced some blissful moments up there.
