Other informationBeing in the Metropolitanate of Ioannina, this monastery comes under the spiritual jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, rather than that of the Church of Greece.[1]

The Monastery of Saint Paraskevi is an abandoned monastery situated on the edge of Vikos Gorge, in the region of Zagori (Ioannina regional unit), northwestern Greece.[2] The monastery founded at 1413–1414, consists of a small stone-built chapel, the oldest preserved in Zagori, and offers panoramic views to the gorge.[3]
