Cheia - Resort and Monastery
Orthodox monastery in Prahova county
What it feels like
Beeswax candles, the faint scent of incense, the distant chant from inside. Quiet courtyards walled against the rest of the world.
Cheia resort, at 900 m altitude in the Ciucaș Mountains, combines the tranquillity of a mountain village with the proximity of Cheia Monastery (1835) and trails to Ciucaș Peak (1,954 m). Guesthouses and chalets offer comfortable accommodation in unspoilt nature.
Best time to visit
May through October for best access. Active monasteries — dress respectfully.
