Despite the monastery's compact size, which allows for a complete tour of the site in roughly 30 minutes, its captivating atmosphere leaves a lasting impression. Before you make your way back, don't miss the chance to indulge in some local delights – a decent barbecue stall can be found a mere 100 yards from the monastery's exit, perfect for concluding your visit with a taste of traditional cuisine.
