Monastery
of the
Prophet
Elijah
Just
above the turning for Hosios Patapios is the monastery of
the Prophet Elijah, occupying a commanding position above Loutraki and 
offering
a superb view of the Gulf of Corinth. Το the left of the threshold of the
monastery is a little chapel, while above the main entrance is a painting of
Our Lady 'Wider than the Heavens'. The southeast side is occupied by the
catholicon, built in 1963.
Among other interesting buildings are the chapel of St John of Sinai and the impressive cave of the Prophet Elijah, in greenish undressed stone.
