It was only a quick visit to the city so we didn’t have time to explore much. This wonderful church though dominated the square where we had dinner and made for a lovely backdrop. It is right by the very popular Lion Square and the structure is beautiful. The history of this town is amazing and this church has seen it all. We didn’t have time to go inside but it dominates the square and proudly has the Greek flag flying up high.

We drove to Moni Odigitrias from Matala, where we were staying for our holiday. The monastery consists of many buildings, there are two churches, the view tower and other parts. Visitors can also visit an old monk cell. It was my first visit of a monastery on Crete. I was surprised that visitors were allowed to enter. We bought a candle in one of the churches and lit it there. The good road finishes at the parking in front of the monastery. Further on there is just a dusty path, which is good just for higher cars.
