• Preveli Monastery

A 17th century monastery on Crete’s isolated south coast, built on a remote hillside overlooking the Libyan Sea, 38 kilometers south of Rethymno. In the monastery, a nice church and a small museum with a collection of religious artifacts. The monastery has beautiful courtyards and terraces overlooking the overwhelming scenery of the bay, coast, and sea. The monastery is accessible via a mountainous winding road with beautiful views of the south coast.
Near the monastery take the trail downhill to Preveli Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches of Crete, and visit the nearby seaside village of Plakias.
