Northern Moldavia Vacation Spot

(Arizona)

A beautiful and intriguing vacation spot I would like to recommend is Northern Moldavia (Romania, Europe). The most attractive spots there are the Eastern Orthodox monasteries of the area, Putna, Sucevita, Moldovita. Putna is especially beautiful and was built by one of the most revered Moldavian lords of old, Stephen the Great.

These places are surrounded by cool, refreshing woods and are deeply permeated by history and art. The awe inspiring murals, both interior and exterior, have outlived the elements for hundreds of years. There you will be greeted by the monks and priests and will find perfectly peaceful surroundings.

The monasteries are locating within a short driving distance from the county capital, Suceava, where you can find friendly hotels to spend the night. However, if you wan to immerse yourself in the experience, the monasteries offer rooms and full amenities on site.
