Monastery of Panagia Odigitria
Monastery of Panagia Odigitria known as "Moni Gonias". The monastery has a long history that goes back to the 9th century when it was founded. It is at this current condition from the early 17th century when the monks moved for safety reasons here. The monastery has always been focused to the resistance to all occupiers of Crete. At the 15th August the monastery celebrates the Virgin Mary and crowds from all over Crete attend the ceremony. Near the monastery has been created the Orthodox Academy of Crete, a very great orthodox ecclesiastical institution.
