Muzhskoy Monastyr' Krestovaya Pustyn'

The monks frown upon boys wearing long hair, though themselves do! They demand to take the earrings off once a man gets inside the church. The area people are allowed to is really small. Actually, it’s not worth it to be there coz the monks are there to hassle people or to tell them off. On the contrary the holy creek is a gorgeous place where visitors can take a dip in a specially designed little pools, there are even changing rooms! Definitely a place to have a look at. Avoid the monastery!

Magical place!!! Fabulously beautiful!!! Well maintained, clean, cozy! Visited on: Weekend Wait time: No wait

Perfect place! Beautiful! Not everything is open to the public, only where the prayer service is held. Visited on: Weekday Wait time: No wait Reservation recommended: No

Great place to cool off from the summer heat and peek inside a strict monastery.

The place is fantastic... right next to the baths of St. Panteleimon... be sure to bring your swimsuit and towel... a must-visit!
