Monasteries in Crete

Moni Kapsa

Moni Kapsa Monastery is one of the most interesting monasteries in Crete. Its massive buildings were erected on rocky, gray slopes surrounding the nearby Pervolakia Gorge. From a distance, it looks as if the monastery buildings were literally growing out of steep rocks.

Monastery of Odigitrias

Monastery of Odigitrias

The Odigitrias Monastery is one of the most famous monasteries of southern Crete. Unfortunately, in terms of popularity, he is far from other Cretan monasteries so often visited by tourists. Located a bit away from popular tourist routes, it attracts only those who relax near Matala.

Moni Katholiko is probably the oldest and most spectacular monastery in Crete. It is located 20 km north-east of Chania, on the Akrotiri peninsula near the exit of the Avlaki ravine. You can walk to Moni Katholiko only on foot because the road for cars ends at the parking lot near the Gouverneto monastery.

Complete history of the Preveli monastery (Turkish occupation)

Complete history of the Preveli monastery (Turkish occupation)

During the Turkish occupation, which began in 1649, the Preveli monastery, like many other such places, was destroyed. Later, it was rebuilt and once again was one of the most important monasteries in Crete, strongly affecting the local community of Sfakia residents. During this period, Preveli was also an important center of resistance to the Turkish occupation.

Przy takich ruchawkach pogodowych trzeba się cieszyć z tej turystyki, która była w maju. Ciekawe, ilu turystów ten maj wystraszy w czerwcu
Calypso
Calypso
Byłam i pyszny miód kupiłam
Byłam w Chanii, pysznosci
Niestety połowa straganów to szmaty i śmiecie jak w każdym polskim targowisku. A wieśniacy oszukują i windują ceny. Byłem 2 razy na placu w Retymno i jest coraz gorzej. Nie wiem jak teraz ale większość kupujących to były tłuste i chamskie Rosjanki. Bez euforii zatem
Ambasadorki Piękna: Za każdym razem jak jesteśmy na Krecie odwiedzamy Laiki i zawsze wychodzimy z pelnymi siatkami owoców i warzyw
gość Marek: No i rzeczywiście, prognozy się sprawdziły. Wczoraj pogoda fatalna na całej Krecie ale za to dziś, już ponownie przepiękna pogoda i cudownie świeci słoneczko. Pozdrowienia z Jerapetry
Jestem od niedzieli na Thasos, pogoda słoneczna, temperatury 22-26 stopni. Sprawdzając prognozy przed wylotem, byłam przerażona, ale na szczęście jest zupełnie odwrotnie
A kwiecień był super
Już jest czerwiec :o o matulu. Turcja też zimna w tym roku
gość PiotrWie: My byliśmy od 7 do 31 maja na Cykladach, było rzeczywiście zimniej niż zwykle ( od 2012 roku jeździmy corocznie w maju do Grecji) ale myślę że pomimo tego że kol. w Sztokholmie miał kilka stopni więcej w dzień niż w Grecji to w nocy miał ich zdecydowanie mniej więc w sumie było zimniej.
gość Waldek: W tej chwili dostępny jest tylko parking płatny. Dalszy wjazd bliżej plaży i parkowanie pod drzewami jest niemożliwe bo zagrodzili drogę. Koszt parkingu to 5E za cały dzień.Parkng najbliżej wejście jest naprzeciwko resortu Elafonisi.
Doświadczyliśmy na własnej skórze.
Ale od Soboty to wyglada na to ze caly tydzien calkiem sloneczyny ☀️
W tym roku będąc w Sztokholmie w maju miałem wyższe temperatury niż na Krecie.
gość PiotrWie : Może przynajmniej nauczą się trochę oszczędzać wodę - bo jak widzieliśmy jak leją hektolitrami chodniki przed domami to stwierdzaliśmy że woda w Grecji musi być bardzo tania i marnują ją w sposób tragiczny.
Gosia | crete.pl : Dzięki za spostrzegawczość :) Faktycznie nie uaktualniliśmy tej informacji.
gość Waldek: Bilet łączony uprawniający do wejścia na teren muzeum oraz na wykopaliska w maju 2023 to koszt” 20 € 
Zmiana klimatu W tym roku było bardzo mało opadów deszczu
Super miejsce piękne widoki
Ale super.
Polka na Kretowisku: Pogoda taka że nic tylko pić
Czu gdzieś jest dostępna lista winiarni na zachodniej części wyspy?
