KESLIK MONASTERY

Located 10 km south of Mustafapaşa, on the road to Soğanlı, and indicated by a yellow sign on the right, the monastery is about 2 km past the village of Cemil. It is difficult to access without a vehicle and still not much visited by tourists: it is worth seeing. Built in the ^13th century, it has a large refectory and two churches: Kara Kilise ("the black church"), which hides many frescoes damaged by smoke, and Aios Stefanos ("the church of St. Stephen") whose frescoes in yellow and orange represent mainly bunches of grapes.
