Nice walk up, but a bit difficult to find the trail.25-30 min up for a decent fit person. Double that if you need breaks. When you get to the road there are 300 steps waiting for you. A restaurant and several benches on the way up.
One would think this monastry was built, in the 18th century, in anticipation for the many all inclusive hotels that would come two centuries later in Kolymbia Bay. The walk up the hill is the perfect penance for the abundance of foods and drinks served at the hotels. The walk is very duable, also with kids. It is of course hot, but that is a part of the experience. In the end, geting salvation from abundant buffet breakfasts, lunches, and dinners shouldn't be earnt too easy anyway. The views are nice.
Good and visible hiking path all the way to the Tsambika Monastery's 300 stairs, which start at the top not here. Would recommend plenty of water, proper shoes and decent physical fitness to endure the hike.
Little Trail to the Monastery if you don't want to take the road. You should wear sturdy shoes. Sometimes you can see goats there.
That was not easy but incredible views are compensated your efforts.Must to try!
