The Kaisariani Monastery is approximately 6 km from the center of Athens, in an area full of green.

It is one of the oldest monasteries in Attica, being built in 11th century AD. The Kaisariani Monastery was dedicated to Virgin Mary and in 1833 was shut down by order of the king. It is worth the visitor's attention, both for its architecture and for the very special place where it is situated. Build within a green environment, in a very quiet place almost beside the bustling capital Athens, it has a unique character. From the Byzantine period, the nave and baths are preserved, while its oldest fresco dates to the 14th century.

Visiting Kaisariani Monastery can be combined with a lovely walk in the woods and mountains of Hymettus for those who love nature and its beauty. Access to the site is allowed only from sunrise to sunset.
