Hi there, I am just wondering if someone can provide me with some information with regards to the style of lives that the monks live at the monastery?
I have visited on a few occasions now and love it up there, so peaceful and relaxing.
Just want some information on their kind of beliefs, the way they live etc etc

Wiki has a bit about it. Including this:
The present monks in Stavrovouni live a very strict form of monastic life, similar to that of the monks on Mount Athos. The rule of their first abbot, Dyonisios, forms the basis of this. Women had been able to visit Stavrovouni until a few years ago, when the monks banned them.
