The road up is easy enough and the monastery is very pretty as are the views. The welcome could be warmer - "what do you want?" Is not how you would expect to be greeted. I was only allowed to look around the courtyard. OK.
The Holy Monastery of Velanidia, dedicated to Chrysopigi, Zoodochos Pigi, is one of the most historic monasteries in Greece. It is located 6 kilometers north of Kalamata and access is very easy by a good asphalt road. …
It is located at an altitude of 350 - 400 meters above sea level. It is located 6 kilometers north of Kalamata. From the Monastery of Velanidia, Papaflessas started for the Liberation of Kalamata and every year on March 23, the Holy Flame of the Revolution starts from the Monastery and ends at Kalamata Square.
