We walked into the monestary because the front door was open, thinking that it was nothing uncommon. But as we followed the signs that said Museum we were stopped by two gentleman speaking Greek, which of course was Greek to us! So this gentleman asked if we spoke English and engaged us in conversation. Apparently the monestary is only open during the tourist season, a common theme on the island. But this monk was very kind and unlocked the church and gave a very detailed and personal tour of the church, giving us the history of the monestary and church.
