One of the most interesting places to visit in Greece is Mega Spileo. This is the oldest monastery in the entire country, it was built in 362 AD. Monasteries are not only an important part of Greek culture, since the country is very orthodox, but they are an important part of history. Mega Spileo monastery played an important role during Greece's independence in 1821. Throughout the years, parts of the monastery have been added and restored, but the inside is almost as old as the original monastery itself. You can definitely see this in the icons and in the walls.
