“Katholiko” monastery
“Katholiko” monastery is located on the northside of Akrotiri in Chania, accessible only through a footpath, just 15 min away from Monastery of Gouverneto. It is considered to be the oldest monastery in Crete. The monastery was founded in the 11th century from saint John the Hermit who used to live in a cave nearby. The monastery was abandoned in the 17th century due to continued pirate attacks.
If you keep walking to the sea, you will find yourself in a wonderful small fjord with turquoise waters, where there are the ruins of the old harbor of the monastery.
