11th‑century Byzantine monastery with exceptional gold mosaics, a compact cloister and stone exterior — ideal for architectural detail, interior mosaic close‑ups and atmospheric courtyard shots. Visit weekday mornings or late afternoons for softer exterior light and fewer visitors; interiors have dim lighting and flash is usually prohibited. Accessible by car or bus off Iera Odos; limited parking. Respect religious services and signage about photography and restricted areas.
