North of the island in a small village of the outback, Orthonies, it is possible to visit the monastery of the Holy Mother of the cave (Spiliotissa) that was built in the XVI century.
This monastery looks like if it has been built at the edge of a gully and it is surrounded by greenness and the landscape is rich in vegetation.
In this moment is possible only to look at it externaly because the inside is not accessible.
