Syrrako and Kalarites are one of the most famous villages of Tzoumerka, ideal for mountain tourism. These are stone settlements, with unique nature, that enchant visitors. When the French consul in Ioannina, Pouqueville, visited Syrrako and Kalarites, in the 19th century, he was impressed.

The impressive monastery with its wild beauty and quirky architecture is built on almost the middle of a huge rock on the northeast side of the Gorge of Arachthon River and is admired to build over vertical rocks.
Access is made from a small path, carved into the rock, and continues with a small hanging wooden bridge, leading to the monastery. The wooden bridge is mobile and the monks climbed it with leverage, so that the monastery becomes inaccessible to the bandits, as a 4-metre gap is created on the cliff when it rises.
