The '''kellion''', also referred to as a [[cell]], is a large building, of two or three floors, and contains a [[chapel]]. The kellions are spread out among the fields of the monasteries. Each may be occupied by three or more monks who engage themselves in farming and handcrafts.
The '''kalyve''' is a structure similar to the keelsonkellion, but is smaller, in which the monks live in family style arrangement and occupy themselves in handicrafts.
The '''Kathisma''' is a building smaller than the kalyve. These small buildings are the residence of solitaire monks and usually are situated near the monastery.
