The Ypapantis Monastery ( Greek: Μονή Υπαπαντής, lit. 'Monastery of the Purification'), also known as the Monastery of the Ascension of the Savior ( Greek: Αναλήψεως του Σωτήρος, romanized: Analipseos tou Sotiros), is a former Eastern Orthodox Christian monastery that is part of the Meteora monastery complex in Thessaly, central Greece. [1] The monastery is built into the side of Dimitrios Rock.
Description
It was founded in 1367 by the Prior/Abbot of the Skete of Dupiani. In 1765, it was restored by Athanasios Vlachavas, a local leader in the area who was a family member of Thymios Vlachavas. Today, Ypapantis Monastery (literally "Monastery of the Purification [of the Virgin Mary]") is inactive and rarely visited, although the building ( 39°44′00″N 21°37′51″E / 39.733470°N 21.630868°E) has been restored. [1] [2]
Access
A stairway leads up to the monastery building from the main road, which is unpaved. A network of trails connects it with Dupiani Rock and the village of Kastraki.
