A very beautiful, quiet place. The official opening is at 10 a.m., I came a little earlier and sat down to wait at a distance, on a bench under a large tree, but one of the employees called me and said that I could enter — the doors were open.
The upper floors are being renovated inside, wooden beams and scaffolding are everywhere, but the main hall on the ground floor is functioning.
Headscarves and pilgrim skirts are provided for girls: everything just lies on a chair at the entrance, those in need can take it themselves for free.
Also, apparently, you can buy local vegetables (everything grows around the hermitage, from tomatoes to corn), weighing and paying yourself.
A wonderful place, in general.

We got to the Hermitage on foot from Mount Athos. The territory is well maintained. While we were getting there, we were tired and hungry, the workers who look after the hermitage were fed and watered, good-natured people😊

Not a bad walk from New Athos. The steep climb is only at the beginning. The road is not loaded with transport. Take a walk, get some fresh air, listen to the birds - that's the thing. On the way, you can visit the "Three Cauldrons" and four monastic bridges. On the second bridge, you can go down to the riverbed, but not all.

Good road, smooth ascent. I walked, but you can also drive by car. About 6 km from the cave entrance.

What a silence there is, it's worth getting there just for the sake of it. A beautiful meadow, a beautiful building

The hermitage was built in 1905 and illuminated in honor of one of the 12 disciples of Christ, St. Simon the Canonite, is currently under restoration, but you can visit it.

The place enchants with the beauty of a mountain village, peace and tranquility. It is difficult to call it a hermitage, at one time it was the main manor of the subsidiary farm of the New Athos Monastery, the outer walls were well preserved, everything was bombed and rebuilt inside in Soviet times for a camp site, now a rehabilitation center for the lost souls of modern drug addicts is planned.
