ITINERARY
on an idyllic islet
A Hidden Treasure
Take a walk in an unspoiled, sun-soaked nature. On this green islet lost in sky blue waters, silence and animals are sovereign.
Fragments of a long history
A tour up and down through the four faces of the monastic complex. From the galleries to the monks’ quarters. From the caves to the representation hall. From the top of the hill down to the lakeside.
