Access to Moni Agias Varvaras Rousanou is via a small wooden bridge. The beautiful coloured-glass-illuminated katholikon is the highlight here, with superb frescoes of the Resurrection (on your left as you enter) and Transfiguration (on your right). The imposing steep structure of Rousanou is itself a stunning accomplishment and is today home to an order of around 15 nuns. If you’re here near closing, listen for the call to vespers.
