Visitors and pilgrims must adhere to a dress code in order to enter the monasteries. Women are required to wear skirts that extend below the knee and ensure their shoulders are covered. Similarly, men should wear long pants, preferably, or shorts that also reach below the knee, with their shoulders covered. This dress code is enforced to maintain the sanctity and reverence of the monastic environment.

You are entitled to 75% of the booking amount up to 48 hours and 50% of the booking amount up to 24 hours.

Each monastery has an entrance fee of 5€ per person. Kids up to 12 years old do not pay an entrance fee.

All monasteries feature, on average, 200 to 250 steps, except for The Nunnery of St. Stephen, which boasts a small bridge instead. It's important to note that while we strive to accommodate accessibility needs during tours, the inclusion of The Nunnery of St. Stephen may vary depending on tour type, day, and/or other special circumstances.
