Today I will take you on a photographic tour around the monastery. Let’s start at A, the winery.
This map shows the surroundings as it was a few decades ago, without the winery en vineyard buildings (A and C) and without the new pier.
Building A, the winery. The 2013 vintage was just put in a few large plastic tanks to ferment.
The smell of newly pressed grapes was prominent.
If you follow the path towards building C you will soon see the monastery with the bell tower and the entrance
The monastery seen from the olive tree garden
Building B is nearby
The new building C, belonging to the vineyard
The entrance to building C
With three bronze bells
D: the East wall of the monastery (photo shot towards the North)
East wall, looking back to builing C (the South), the Agiou Georgios chapel in the upper corner. On the lower level you can find the Hagii Pantes (alle Saints) chapel.
In the middle of spot D/the East wall: the library building, with two unfinished chapels in it (Rumanian and Russian)
Plan of Esfigmenou monastery
The North/East corner along the coastline, building E on the plan.
Again building E on the North – sea site – wall on the right: two balconies have rotted away and many ajustments were made in the wall through the years.
The North wall, with the defence tower and the arsanas in the background
The defence tower with its flags Next time we will have look at the rest of the pictures from the West and South (entrance) walls. Wim, 3/6
