The Egg Monastery
Greece, like so many other countries, is dotted with unusual places that are well worth a visit. These include natural sites—often steeped in history and memory. Among the most remarkable of these is the Monastery of Saint Demetrius also known as Moní Avgoú, literally “the Monastery of the Egg”, located in the Argolis region, in the northeastern Peloponnese.
