About 700m down from Moni Megalou, Moni Varlaam has a small museum, an original rope-basket (until the 1930s, the method for hauling up provisions and monks) and fine late-Byzantine frescoes by Frangos Kastellanos. The mural The Blessed Sisois at the Tomb of Alexander the Great shows the great conqueror as a humble skeleton. Look just above the door, past the candles.
For a panoramic break, visit the rambling Psaropetra lookout , 300m east of the signposted fork northeast of Moni Varlaam.
