Very beautiful with wonderful painting and . Its on the top of the mountain so you can see half of the region of Herakleion. The road it dusty and hard you have to use a strong car to go there but the hall trip among the Cretan nature is very nice and adventures. Never go up to the place when is storm coming because its alot lightning hits the place. A place of worship with a magnificent of the surroundings. You can reach the top even with a smaller car, you have to drive slowly, carefully, patiently and with strong nerves. 😁 The road is dusty and gravel, so it might be better to consider an off-road vehicle or a car with a higher chassis. Afentis Christos Monastery is open, you can pray for something and light a candle. The reward in the end is a breathtaking panoramic of the surroundings from a height of 800 meters above sea level. Don't be suprised, if you also encounter grazing goats. Have a good time ! Find your way up there... Near Heraklion around 10 kilometres from the city. The is esronishing... Breath air! Once per year there is a celebration of Jesus when many people walk up the mountain. The road up to the mountain (about 800m above the sea level) is easy. Keep in mind though there is path connecting mountain and Archanes, which you better avoid, unless you have a guide or you are really experienced and careful. Keep in mind there are two peaks. The south one is the one with the church. On the North one there is the archeological site. The from the and the hill below is breathtaking. If you like trekking and you are nearby, it's a very nice option. Beautiful! The was nice, but the is breath taking. You can watch the Griffon Vultures fly over. So cool! The best place to watch Vultures on the island 3-4 hour hike or 1.5-2 hour run from Archanes (400m) climb. Amazing views from the top and a decent (gravelled) road for both walking and driving. N.B. no water or shade to speak of! Highly recommend this place. Very quiet with a nice view. You can go inside the church, if the door is closed, you can just open it (a local told us it is allowed). You can reach it by car, we had a toyota yaris rental and had no problem. It’s gravel, but 10-20km/h should do it. Hardest hike I've ever done but the best views. Sadly the wasn't open but the views, the vultures and the goats made up for that. We hiked up the trail but walked back down via the road.
