It's another interesting historical place in the Rethymno regional unit, Crete Island. It is a particularly riveting place for buffs of Greek history and the Greek Orthodox church. A religious site was founded in this place around 1020 C.E. Myriokephalon village is a village. To find a place for the car park may be a problem. I recommend visiting in the afternoon because there is much less tourist traffic and no hassle with a place for your car. You will see the time-honoured of Our Lady, a museum and a shop selling liturgical items. Toilets are available. I visited in October 2023. Beautiful church! The was open, but the shop and museum was not. Small, simple is interesting for its age and the even older frescoes it contains. (We did not get to see the famous icon.) The free museum next door contains mostly 19th and 20th century religious objects, but also an older, interesting stamp seal of the monastery. Worth stopping if you are nearby. Beautiful with ancient pics on the wall. Also there is a souvenir shop. This is a monastery with a beautiful chapel. It also has a shop, but it was closed when we visited. If you are in the area, it's worth a visit, but it's not something I would go out of my way for. A built in the 12th century, an icon from around 1650, a life time devotion from papa Giannis with his books on the matter, and the recently opened museum with historic relics from this church, give me the maximum feeling peace. When crossing myself in front of the same icon like my ancestors have done for centuries, under foreign occupation, during war, poverty grief or illness is a unique feeling. It does not get better than that. Nice village where they have a monastery A really historical built hundred years ago and attracts extremely many orthodox people at the days of 7-8th of September,its a really big event, definitely worth seeing it.
