Manyava is a small village in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast of western Ukraine, located in the northern foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, about 80 kilometers from the oblast capital, Ivano-Frankivsk. The village is famous for its historic Manyava Skete Monastery, built in the early 17th century and known as the "Mount Athos of Ukraine", which was an important center of Orthodox monastic culture. Closed during the Soviet period, the monastery was rebuilt in 1998 as a religious tourism and cultural heritage site.
The surrounding nature of Manyava is beautiful, with forests, streams and mountain landscapes for hiking and eco-tourism. The village is sparsely populated, the economy is based on agriculture and tourism, and the area retains a traditional Ukrainian rural lifestyle. As part of the history and culture of the Carpathian region, Manyava attracts scholars and tourists studying religious architecture and folklore.
