The Stylos Monastery (Arapavlı) lies between Bağırcık and the Kovanalan Plateau at a height of 740m. It was the most important among monasteries at Latmos (see also Kellibara). It was built in the 10th century during the lifetime of Saint Paul the Younger around the Stylos, that is the rock, on which he lived as a hermit. One of the major researchers of Latmos, Theodor Wiegand, could identify it in the early 20th century. The Stylos monastery lies in one of the wildest areas of the Latmos.
