🛏 Pilgrim Stays
A Tripadvisor forum poster listed Machairas among monasteries that 'reportedly offer stays,' but no fee, booking procedure, or official confirmation was found. Monastery is known to be reserved toward casual visitors — group tours require prior booking and are restricted to specific days/hours.
A guest house is mentioned by the source above, but we couldn't independently confirm current booking details, capacity, or price -- contact the monastery directly.
General Serbian Orthodox monastic-stay custom: overnight stays require the blessing of the abbot/abbess, arranged in advance by phone or in person. At a men's monastery, male pilgrims may stay in the konak; women are typically directed to separate lodging nearby. A modest fee or donation is common but varies by monastery. This is general custom, not a monastery-specific guarantee.
