Excursions
The main attraction in the vicinity is the ancient Aladzha monastery , which functioned until the 18th century.
Local monks led a harsh lifestyle, devoid of all worldly pleasures. The cells are carved directly in the limestone rock, inside there is a wooden staircase. The monastery received its name (“Aladzha” from Turkish as “motley”) because of the colorful wall paintings, which today can hardly be seen. The distance from the resort center is almost 2 km.
You should definitely visit the church chapel of St. John the Baptist, built under the leadership of Metropolitan Cyril.
