The monastery is peaceful and clean with an old-world charm. There is even a little museum inside as well as a small shop where the monks sell quality Cretan honey they themselves produce. They also sell handmade beeswax candles, prayer ropes and incense; all made by the monks. You can even find religious books. All the money goes to the monastery's upkeep and with only four monks left the locals to help out a lot. Right outside the monastery is a little cafe. There are also many beautiful flowers and a zoo. A must-see for visitors to the island of Crete.
