Perfect crystal clear waters with a magnificent view Wonderful and quite place - and the opportunity to take a bath in the sea. If you are there, cling the mountains up to Kofinas. Η Μονή Κουδουμά είναι από τα πιο όμορφα μοναστήρια σε δύσβατο σημείο με δύσκολη πρόσβαση.24 χλμ σε χωματόδρομο που είναι καλύτερο να γίνει με τζιπ ή 4×4 και όχι επιβατικό αυτοκίνητο. Πολύ όμορφη παραλία ακριβώς από κάτω One of the best spots of South Crete!! Amazing place for self reflection and praying. Άγιος τόπος! Ηρεμία και γαλήνη της ψυχής! More then 40 times here. Comes every time better. Never forget that Parthenios and Eumenios did the first big job in 1840... Every Friday during Easter time we visit this place with our motorcycles. The road is rough. Rocky slip roads with a lot of dust and turns. The view is estonishing. Prepare yourself and especially your family for rough trip. But at the end of the road you will a lovely beach with a monatestry and a small taverns. Nothing else there. Relax and chil and enjoy the wild nature of South Crete... Fantastic monastery, and everyone is fed free of charge. Such great is the kindness of the monks living there! Obviously, one must be respectfully clothed as one may not be accepted in the otherwise. Ειναι ενα απο τα ομορφοτερα μοναστηρια της Κρητης στα Αστερουσια Ορη προς την μερια του Λιβυκου Πελαγους. Peaceful place with a on the coast. They are really hostable since they offer bed and food for 2 nights but a call is needed if you want to stay! Also I believe camping is convenient since they have toilets with dush and bbq. Hiking, swimming and fishing are the most suitable activities for this astonishing landscape. 1h is needed from village Sternes till koudoumas, actually it takes 1h to cross the mountain. The Virgin is situated next to a beautiful beach, but reaching it by car can be challenging. It is advisable to choose a 4x4 vehicle and have an experienced driver familiar with country mountain roads, especially for the last 23km of the route, which are rough, dirt roads with steep slopes. This part of the journey can be difficult and demanding for city drivers. It's important to note that there are no restaurants or fuel stations after the village Sternes. However, you can find a small supermarket there where you can buy some food and drinks. The staff at the supermarket are very nice and helpful. It's a good idea to prepare some food in advance. Despite the lack of amenities, the mountain view from the is absolutely stunning and transports you to another world, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The monks at the are very welcoming and kind. They offer free coffee and cookies 🍪. We had a pleasant conversation with Monk Lucas, who shared his experiences and explained the monastery's history to us. It was a truly delightful and enriching experience. Highly recommended! This was the finish of a race. Up and over the mountain road. Απίστευτη διαδρομή, βατός χωμάτινος δρόμος ,ευγενέστατοι άνθρωποι,προσφέρουν πρωινό και γεύμα σε προκαθορισμένες ώρες καθώς και διαμονή στα κελιά του μοναστηριού, καθαρά νερά στην μικρή παραλία και αρκετή σκιά στις σπηλιές.
