Monastery Of Saint Dionysios At Mt Olympus
The monastery of Saint Dionysios is located on the rims of Mount Olympus in Central Macedonia unit in Greece, close to the Litochoro village and Zeus bath tub. Initially, the monastery was dedicated to the Holy Trinity but over time, due to great respect Saint Dionysios had among the believers, he became a saint patron of the entire complex.

Agios Dionysios Monastery, Olympus, Litochoro, Pieria, Central Macedonia, Greece, Europe
The monks abandoned the destroyed monastery and moved into the Metochion, the estate of the monastery. The Metochion was founded in 1650 and consisted, apart from the lands, of a church, the economic buildings and another building in which the monks lived, who took care of the farm. After the Second World War, this estate was gradually expanded into a monastery. The older part of the new monastery is equipped with a heavy iron door and thus separated from the rest of the system. It contains the cells of the monks, the refectory and the administrative building. As is usual with Greek Orthodox monasteries, the this part of the building is subject to the abaton (inaccessible) rule, prohibiting access to female visitors. Just outside are the stables, workshops and the cheese factory. All buildings outside the abaton, such as the new church or the museum, were built after 1985. The monastery church was built in classical orthodox style. An image of Saint Dionysius adorns the entrance. Inside, in addition to the usual sumptuous decor of an Orthodox church, there are some special features. It is striking that many chairs, standing consoles and other items are decorated with marquetry. The inserts are made of ivory or mother-of-pearl. On a small table stands an icon depicting the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Next to it is a little basket with notes and ball-point pens. Believers who want to make a request to the saint can put it here on paper.
Old Agios Dionysios Monastery, Olympus, Litochoro, Pieria, Central Macedonia, Greece, Europe
The old Monastery of Agios Dionysios in Olympus is a Greek Orthodox monastery on the slopes of Mount Olympus, the most important monastery in the Pieria Prefecture. It is located at the Enipeas ravine at an altitude of 850m. The original monastery was established in 1542, was destroyed by the Germans in 1943. A new monastery was established at a distance of some 5 km to the northeast of the old one, closer to the town of Litochoro. The Agios Dionysios Monastery is a stauropegic monastery, subordinated directly to the Patriarch of Constantinople (Istanbul). Beside the monasteries Kanalon and Agia Triada, Sparmos it is one of the monasteries located at Mount Olympus. Originally the name of the ancient monastery was Agia Triada, Holy Trinity, In the course of time, however, the name of its founder, Saint Dionysius of Olympus , has prevailed. The new monastery was named directly after Saint Dionysius. The old monastery was founded and devoted to the Holy Trinity by Saint Dionysius in 1542. Surrounded by strong high walls and towered by a watchtower, it resembles a small fortress. During various conflicts it served as a shelter for civilians, but also for fighting troops. Today the visitor can see a ruin from the outside. In its history the monastery has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. It was destroyed in 1821 by Veli Pasha and again by the German Wehrmacht in April 1943. Assuming that the building might serve as a refuge for Greek resistance fighters, the Germans first bombed it and later demolished it with explosives.

Vrontochi Monastery | Mystras
Keeping to the same route, the Monastery of Vrontochi emerges, imposing and massive, among the cobbled streets and the surrounding nature, which seems to a point to have regained its rightful place within the town. Pachomios, the ambitious superior who founded the monastery, managed to amass great wealth by advising and providing all kinds of political and other services to the Despots of Mystras, therefore the most prosperous institution of the castle town only took twenty years to complete. The structure incorporates two churches, famous among the circles of orthodox Christianity: the church of Agii Theodori and the church of Panagia Odigitria, commonly known as the Afentiko.
