    Avlaki gorge is one of the most important gorges in Crete with a particular religious value, as many monks and hermits found shelter in its caves. Inside the small canyon there is the deserted Katholiko monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in Crete.

The cave of Saint John the Hermit or Xenos is located just a few hundred meters away from the monastery Gouverneto and next to the abandoned Katholiko Monastery. It was a riverbed with a total length of about 135 meters, forming a horizontal room. Its rich decoration is characterized by large stalactites and stalagmites.

At the exit of the gorge, a narrow and rocky fjord is shaped with deep blue water. There is a small Venetian well, a small harbor where the monks parked and repaired their boats and the quarry for the building materials of the monastery.

Seitan Limania is a narrow canal locked between high sea cliffs, with a small spot of white sand and pebbles and transparent vivid blue water.

The White Mountains have taken their name from the perpetual white or off-white color of their peaks as the off white of limestone during the summer and fall interchanges with the snow that covers the peaks until late in spring.

The Samariá Gorge is a National Park of Greece since 1962 on the island of Crete – a major tourist attraction of the island – and a World’s Biosphere Reserve.

The Botanical Garden is not just a simple attraction. It is a dance of the senses, a wandering of the soul into emotions forgotten.

Framed by one of the few cedar forests of Crete, Kedrodasos is still a remaining paradise on the island.
