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.

On the left of the cave lies the crypt where Saint John the Hermit hided by the frequent visits of the shepherds and farmers. Attached to this, there is a small room that was used as a Secret School during the Ottoman Era. Next to the temple, a crack on the rock drips water throughout the year, “the holy water of Agios Ioannis” as told, which is stored in a small tank for visitors.

Sirili is a small settlement encountered after Vlacheronitissa. A village with a strong authentic local color, away from tourist centers, with magnificent landscapes, and traditional architectural interest.

    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.

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