Monastery of Preveli (Holy Stavropegiac and Patriarchal Monastery of St John the Theologian)

🛏 Pilgrim Stays

We haven't yet been able to confirm whether this monastery has a guest house (konak) or hosts overnight pilgrims. Many Serbian Orthodox monasteries do -- contact the monastery directly to ask.

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.
