We arrived at Ano Pedina planning to visit the very special Monastery of the Annunciation, which at that day had a feast because of the celebration of 25 March.

The East welcomes you in a place with fine smells and sounds. You begin to remember movies like “A touch of Spice” with the small boy charmed while playing with the colors, tastes and smells of spices.
