Behind the second courtyard and the katholicon there is a hallway that leads to the back gate of the monastery.
Immediately after leaving the monastery you will see the ossuary and the graveyard.
The South wing of the monastery, seen from the graveyard.
Looking up from the same spot: at the top level, the Ag. Dimitrios chapel and a building above the back gate, with the pine from the cemetary.
The ossuary of Grigoriou, with the Agii Pantes (All Saints) chapel inside
Inside the ossuary: on the left side bones are pilled up
In the centre: the skulls of the deceased monks with icons and the old crosses of their graves.
The back gate from 1997 to go back to the monastery.
