This Eastern Orthodox monastery may look like a majestic ruin, but it's still the home to a tight-knit community of monks. Built in the eleventh century, this hidden gem features a fascinating museum and absolutely stunning interior. After your tour, take a stroll around the romantic, overgrown grounds.

real nature in the middle of the city... walking trails to Sacher Garden, to the museum- you can bike from here even to tel aviv on one trail!
