This is just outside the city, so you need a car or so, but it's worth a visit. It is an astounding Orthodox cave monastery complex that is part of a protected natural area just in from the coast. These caves are man-made and have been purposely carved from the face of a 25-metre-high karst cliff. It’s one for the sure-footed, as some of the terrain can be tough!
