This documentary is about the holy mountain of Varasova which, during the Byzantine period, had been named the Mount Athos of Western Greece.
\nGreat temples and monasteries had been founded at the foot of Varasova as well as in the greater region of Aitolia and Akarnania. However, inside the craggy caves of Varasova many monks and hermits found refuge, having left the big monasteries in search of greater austerity.
\nAmong these caves, the most important was the askitirion of Saint Nicholas at Southern Varasova which is unique in Greece.
\nAll these forgotten monuments are filmed and commented upon, with the help of Athanassios Paliouras, Professor of Byzantine Archaeology at the University of Ioannina.<\/p>\n
