The story
Perched in the hills of Ehden, the Monastero di Marlisha holds a quiet gravitas that draws crowds each Sunday. With a 4.8-star rating and a souvenir shop stocked with preserves, it feels as much a local gathering spot as a place of worship. Its popularity is echoed by creator Nicolò Balini, who notes that “the monastery is very popular, especially on Sundays,” underscoring its magnetic pull for both pilgrims and day-trippers.
Inside, the monastery reveals a rare detail: a rosary carved directly into the rock. Balini highlights this feature in his visit, adding a tangible sense of devotion to the stone surroundings. While not a dining destination, the monastery’s modest preserve shop offers a taste of regional tradition, making it a worthwhile pause for anyone exploring Lebanon’s mountainous north.
