Only few of the churches mentioned can be reached by
public transport, since most of them stand away from main
roads and are only accessible by private car. Due
to the eminent importance of the icons and
frescoes, many of the churches and monasteries are kept
locked. Visitors can always ask to be escorted by the
village priest, or any other responsible person who can
usually be found in the coffee shops of the village.
