Monastery of Arkadi
The Old Philosopher Monastery is one of Greece's oldest monasteries, founded around 963 AD by Saint Athanasios the Philosopher. Hidden beneath a massive natural rock overhang in the breathtaking Lousios Gorge, it was built in this secluded location for protection and spiritual solitude. During the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, the monastery became an important religious and cultural center, preserving Orthodox traditions and Greek education. Visitors can admire its small chapel, centuries-old frescoes, and spectacular cliffside setting overlooking the gorge. Reached by a scenic hiking trail, the monastery offers a unique combination of history, faith, and natural beauty, making it one of Arcadia's most remarkable landmarks.

Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries cost?
+
Prices start at $206 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries?
+
Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Μπουκαλι με νερο; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 187 listed pickup locations in and around Athens. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private ArcadiaTour Saint Theodora Church Philosopher Monasteries wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
