A day at Old Orhei
By taxi you reach Old Orhei at your own time, without changing buses in Orhei. The driver drops you at the entrance, waits while you visit the monastery and the village of Butuceni, then brings you back. The same day you can also see Curchi Monastery, closer to Orhei, and on the way back stop at Château Vartely, in Orhei, for a tasting: the driver stays at the wheel.
Waiting is paid by the hour, so say ahead how long you want to stay: for the monastery, the village and a meal at a guesthouse allow a few hours. The cave monastery is reached on foot, up a slope, so wear comfortable shoes and take water in summer. For other towns see intercity rides.
