The largest cypress tree in the Balkans
Monastery of Saint Vlassios
A post-Byzantine monastery completed in 1752, it proudly sits 4 km north-east of Stilida. Inside, it retains its otherworldly pre-independence splendor and its major contribution to the 1821 struggle for independence. Following King Otto’s Decree in 1833 it was abandoned until 1981 when its reformation was decided.
