Moni Odigitrias

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:58:17

About 6km south of Sivas, Moni Odigitrias is a historic monastery with a tower from which the monks fought off the Turks, Germans and the odd pirate. A rickety ladder leads to the top for superb views. Afterwards, take a quick spin around the small museum with its wine- and olive presses and check out the 15th-century frescoes and icons in the church up the hill.
