The Monastery of Kremasta or Kremasti is located 14km north of Agios Nikolaos town, on the road to the village of Vrysses and the Lasithi Plateau. This beautifully situated monastery on the slope of Kavalaras hill overlooks the town of Neapolis which is only 3km away. It is built at an altitude of 397 m. and gives the impression that it is hanging, hence its name Kremasta which means "hanging" in Greek. The monastery is dedicated to Archangels Michael and Gabriel and celebrates on 8 November.
