Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather for hiking. Summer can be very hot.
Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Early morning or late afternoon are recommended to avoid the midday heat and crowds.
Accessibility is limited due to the steep and winding road and rocky path leading to the monastery. It is not suitable for wheelchairs or individuals with significant mobility impairments. The church itself may have limited accessibility features.
While older, active children may enjoy the hike, it is challenging for younger children. There are no dedicated play areas or changing facilities. Supervision is essential due to the steep terrain.
Pets are generally allowed, but should be kept on a leash. Be mindful of the wild goats.
A small cafe offers coffee, ice cream, and light snacks. Barbecue facilities are available for visitors who wish to bring their own food. Restroom facilities are available at the top.
