Abba Yohanni, ETplace
About
Impressively located halfway up a 300m-high sheer cliff face, this church is reached by a 15-minute climb using steps, tunnels and little bridges. The crooked carving and large cracks make the three-aisled, four-bayed interior as fascinating as the facade and the bright afternoon light makes it easy to photograph. As a bonus, it’s an active monastery, so the key is never far away. On the downside, it means women are prohibited.
