Through a narrow alley of the village you get to the homonymous mountain (Agios Matthaios), and start climbing it until you reach the top, where stands the Pantokratoros Monastery (this monastery is other than Pantokratoras Monastery located on mount Pantokratoras). The Monastery of Pantokratoros on the mountain of St. Matthew remains closed all year, except August 5 and 6, when the Transfiguration of the Savior is celebrated. But it is worth a visit anyway, just for the route and the magnificent views!
