Hard hike. Very good fitness required. Mostly accessible paths. Sure-footedness required. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Pantokrator Monastery
Highlight • Religious Site
If you want to climb the mountain on foot in summer, you should know that there are only a few trees that provide shade on the way up and the whole thing is not recommended for everyone. In cooler times of the year it is of course a nice hiking experience.
It is easier by car. A small, fairly passable road leads to the summit and ends there. You should bear in mind that the road has no guard rails and you should be reasonably confident in handling the vehicle. Once you get to the top there are hardly any parking spaces, so you park on the side of the road, which makes the already narrow road one lane. It is therefore highly recommended to turn around at the top before parking. If you don't mind renting a quad bike - this would be a good idea.
The summit with the small monastery is freely accessible. In front of the monastery courtyard there is also a snack bar with some seating.
Translated, the name means "ruler of all", meaning Jesus Christ. The name is based on the "transfiguration of the Lord" or transfiguration, a revelation event on a mountain - appropriately.
The monastery, which dates back to 1347, is accordingly dedicated to Jesus Christ. After being destroyed by the Turks, it was rebuilt in the 17th century with beautiful frescoes and restored at the beginning of this century with EU funding.
