ερημητήριο Αγία Ελεούσα - Eremitirio Agia Eleusa

The small church is hidden in the rocks, and its location offers a wonderful view of the mighty Louisios Gorge, Dimitsana and Paliohori. The age of the small hermitage is unknown, but it was probably built during the centuries of Ottoman rule, when Christianity was being fought by the occupiers.
A large car park is located at the lost place of the Zatouna tourist pavilion. The descent begins a few steps north. The path to the church is accompanied by an iron railing, only interrupted for 60m in the small forest in the middle area. The path is of alpine nature, about 600m long, and leads about 120m down. The railing is not suitable for holding on to in places and you should definitely be able to walk sure-footed.

About 10m before the church you will see the conspicuous roots of a tree on the path, with a large bell hanging from it. At a height of about 210cm, on the left side, the petling is stuck in an root hole.
The church door is usually open. Please behave respectfully in the church and do not touch the holy objects - a well-hidden surveillance camera is there to ensure safety ;-)
