MONASTERY OF DIONYSIOS - LEPTOKARIA

Dionysus Monastery, a place where you feel a complete and overwhelming quietness.

The monastery is situated at about 18 km from Litochoro, between two small rivers which flow into the Enipeas river, at a height of 900 meters. The monastery was founded in the early 16th century and was dedicated to Agios Dionisios and o the Holy Trinity.

During the last 400 years, the monastery offered a real economic and religious support for this part of Olympus. Its domain also included a forest, Prionia, a water mill, a wheat mill and a farm.

Since the start of the XXI century it has had only 6 monks.

In 1943 it was destroyed twice, first by a bomb and second by the german troops. Since then, the local comunity has been living in Metohi Monastery, near Litochoro.
