Have you been to the Monastery of Themata in Kefalonia?

[blopez34]

This monastery is one of the oldest landmarks on the island. I was so shocked to find out that it was originally built in 1096. It has been restored over time, of course, but much of the monastery remains in good condition. The name behind the monastery is debated, and its true origin is actually unknown. I've never been, but I have been doing a little bit of research about the monastery and I'm considering a visit when I go to Kefalonia this year. Has anyone on the forum been to the monastery or perhaps the nearby area of Agia Dinati Mountain?

I have never been! It sounds like an interesting place to visit. Does it take a lot to get up to it or can you drive up?

You can drive there, nor far from Sami.
