Superb captures from blessed father Theodossios!
Technically Agios Vassileios is not a skiti (sketes being only 12 officially in Athos) but a ‘kathisma’ much like Mylopotamos.
The ruined tower inside it, was also built by Milutin, so this one is also a ‘Milutins’ tower’.
Father Daniel, who lives there, is serbian.
