The most unique place in Fiolent is St. George Monastery. The legend tells about the foundation of the St. George Monastery. In 891, a merchant ship of the Tauride Greeks was caught in a severe storm near Cape Fiolent. Seeing that huge waves would soon sink the ship and death was inevitable, the sailors turned with an ardent prayer to their patron Saint George. And suddenly, miraculously, the sea calmed down, and George the Victorious himself appeared on a rocky island in a bright radiance. Climbing the rock, the Greeks saw an icon depicting a saint. They founded a temple in a cave on the shore and placed an icon there.

In 1924, the St. George Monastery was closed, and the military unit of the Black Sea Fleet was housed in its premises. In the 90s of the twentieth century, the revival of the St. George Monastery on Fiolent began. So far, not all of his territory has been returned to him - only that which descends along the cliffs to the sea. Here is the ancient and legendary cave church of St. George.
In 1991, through the efforts of the Church and the Black Sea Fleet, a new seven-meter cross weighing 1400 kg was erected on the rock of the Holy Phenomenon. The cells and services of the Georgievsky Monastery are being restored, preparations are underway for a large construction. Georgievsky Monastery is located on the very edge of the cliff. Several monks live here, who are engaged in the restoration of the destroyed shrine. And in a small cave church of St. George the Victorious services are regularly held.

A staircase of 788 steps leads from the monastery to Jasper Beach, built by the monks back in 1891. "Georgievsky Monastery and its steep staircase to the sea," wrote A.S. Pushkin, "left a strong impression on me." On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, laity access to the monastery is open, and everyone can attend the service.
