This video drives you into the gorge of Lousios river and comes to an end at the parking lot of Saint John the Baptist Orthodox monastery. From there the visitors can reach the monastery by foot (approx 10 minutes walk). The monastery is built on a steep side of a high rocky hill. The view from it to the Lousios canyon is literally breathtaking!

The road till the parking lot has some points with really big potholes, but is still accessible by car.
