Among the olive groves in the place called Logari, which is less than a kilometer from the village of Kritsa , there is a small Byzantine church from the 13th-14th centuries. It is probably one of the most famous sacred monuments in Crete. Of the hundreds of other similar churches, Panagia Kera is distinguished by rich polychromes decorating the entire interior. An interesting fact is that the Byzantine frescoes, which can now be admired, have been hidden under plaster for hundreds of years. Former Christians hid their presence to protect them from destruction by the Turkish occupant. Frescos were rediscovered only in 1971.
