Excursion to Makellaria

On the very beautiful dirt road that starts from Petsakoi (heading toward Lapanagoi) just after the ruins of the Monastery of the Annunciation, we can see a rough dirt road heading off to our left. This road ends at the Monastery of Makellaria. Some parts of the road are impressive, but care is needed. There is an impressive narrow passage that appears to be carved into the rock, but right after that be careful on the very steep ascent (with gullies on the left) which absolutely needs a 4X4 to go up. For all that, you will certainly be rewarded when you see the Monastery of Makellaria standing out impressively on its huge rock.
