It's an excellent hike as well as a quick visit of the monastery. From my point of view hike is the main thing. Nature is amazing and it is a good balance between effort and reward. Monastery is a great too, just be aware it is relatively small, you would not spend there more than an hour.

Wow talk about clear and informative information, our guide Philip was the best! Clearly explaining everything you need to know from pick up points to tips on white hiking routes to take. If only all guides were as good! Highly recommend.

The entire day is incredible! The guide was informative, friendly, spoke great English and had a good sense of humour! The seven lakes was beautiful, not to challenging at all and finished within a few hours! But you need to do this hike, it’s stunning! The monastery was so rich in history as well, very stunning and a special place to visit
Amazing experience
