Description

Mega Spilaio , formally the Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos , is a Greek Orthodox monastery near Kalavryta, in the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece.

The monastery is located in a large cave in a sheer cliff, where the western slopes of Mount Chelmos drop down to the gorge of the Vouraikos river, some 11 kilometres northwest of the town of Kalavryta. The cave was known in antiquity, and the geographer Pausanias reports that the daughters of Proetus found refuge there during their madness. In the first Christian centuries, Christian hermits occupied the cave.
