Orheiul Vechi

An archaeological and monastic complex in a dramatic loop of the Răut River gorge, with a cave monastery dug into the limestone cliff by Orthodox monks, still used today, and a church on the cliff top with sweeping views. The village of Butuceni below has traditional houses and guesthouses.
It's about an hour from Chișinău. Dress modestly in the monastery. Check travel advice for Moldova before you go.
