I noticed the St. Johns Greek Orthodox Monastery as I drove by thanks to the Greek Pastries sign (I’d never pass that up). St. Johns is a working monastery that you can tour; they also offer a wonderful shop that sells fresh baked goods, pastries, and other products made from scratch by the sisters. You can also find natural soaps and lotions, honey and homemade jams, prayer related items, books, CD’s, religious icons, and more.
Please note that if you wish to tour the monastery, men need to be in long sleeves and pants, and women in long sleeves, long skirts and head coverings. They will provide visitors with appropriate attire if you do not meet their guidelines.
Located at: 5 Timmer Lane Goldendale, Washington 98620
