Turn left, and then go by the narrow road, through the wood you get there after 2km. The church of the Birth of the Holy Mother of God was found in 15th century. The founder of the church is unknown. To the 18th century the monastery was not touched but in 1716. it was ruined and robbed by the Turks.
