The hidden tree church of St. Paisios was built inside a burnt oak tree, following in the footsteps of St. Paisios, who in his youth passed through the area, going to the nearby village of Amarantos to perform carpentry work on local houses. a few meters after the junction for the village of Agia Varvara, next to the road to Amaranto. The tree had been internally destroyed and set on fire (bystanders set fire to heat, or to barbecue) and with the result that every year its condition deteriorates and is ready to collapse.The tree to be saved was shielded internally with stone from the area and turned into a tree. Externally there is a small bell while inside there is a recess where the visitor can light a candle, a candle, a picture of Christ and Our Lady and in the center the image of Saint Paisios flooded with tribes of pilgrims.In Greece there are very few similar churches - places of pilgrimage within a tree and arouse the interest of Greek and foreign visitors.

We visited the monastery in January 2020 and the experience was amazing. Great views of the vikos and the surrounding mountains. The road to the monastery is with the local grey stones and it has many spots for photographs. The actual monastery is well kept and the people who live in or work there are very friendly and talented. They draw saint pictures which are great for your house or souvenir for the foreigners. A MUST visit of the area
