VISITING -- Akrotiri - Gouverneti Monastery

Akrotiri - Gouverneti Monastery

This is recommanded trip ! Especially those who like traditional orthodox monastery in abandonned locations.
I visited it twice, with a friend and with parents ...
Not that far from Kalyves, about 30 min driving, close to the airport.

It has beautiful gardens around.














Behind the monastery there is a walking road down to another isolated beach close to Marathi.




This is a view down to the bridge going into the hiking trail ...




My mother passing the bridge ....



What is this plant ?


(Dracunculus Vulgaris --- Cfr. Elephants Ear)



In 10km we have Loutraki beach, a beautiful location , isolated and only greeks move there typical. It's a destination for the 'aristocraty' of Chania.
Never crowded.
