AGIOS GEORGIOS MANDILAS CAVE
On the wall of a rock column, an astonishing cavity covered with colorful fabrics installed every April 23 by climbers.
An astonishing multicolored spot appears in a cavity in the north wall of the great rock column of Agios Pnevma. This is the ancient monastery known as "St. George of the Handkerchiefs" (Αγίου Γεωργίου του Μανδηλά/Agiou Georgiou tou Mandila) founded in the 14th century. Since the 17th century, every April 23, climbers from all over Greece climb 40 meters up a rope to install tamata here, ex-votos in the form of cloths in memory of resistance to the Ottomans.
