A short distance from the city of Pythagoreion, atop a cliff with wonderful views of the surrounding area and coast, lies the Panagia Spiliani Monastery. As if the views and the quaint monastery weren't enough to lure you up, visitors can descend into a small cave, at the bottom of which there is a tiny underground chapel.
