Kališta Monastery
Манастир Калишта
A monastery on the lakeshore at Struga, with a small rock-cut cave church dating from the 14th–15th centuries set into the cliff wall, containing fine frescoes
The monastery's main buildings are modern. The real highlight is the Church of the Virgin in a cave in the lakeside cliff, reached by climbing stone steps. The cave is narrow and preserves 15th-century frescoes. Beside the monastery are a small lakeside chapel and a beach. Entry is free, but please dress modestly. It is about 4 km from Struga, close to the Albanian border, and can be arranged together with Radožda.
