Sumela Monastery, perched on the cliffs of the Zigana Mountains, is a symbol of spiritual endurance and architectural brilliance. Founded in the 4th century during Emperor Theodosius’s reign, it served as a haven for Orthodox Christian worship through Byzantine and Ottoman rule. The monastery’s fresco-adorned main church, sacred spring, and breathtaking mountain views offer a serene escape. Visitors can explore biblical frescoes, Byzantine saints, and the monastery's historical significance, all set against a dramatic landscape. The steep forested path to the site enhances the mystical allure of this sacred treasure.
