Let your guide take you on a 1.5 hour breathtaking loop hike (4 km, level 4) through the valley, during which you will visit five more monasteries and hidden (cave) churches, two of them being normally closed to the public. He will share with you the stories of the monk and hermit life in the monasteries, and tell you about the many saints worshiped in the area.
