Crete | Agiofarago Beach
Crete | Agiofarago Beach. Agiofarago, means gorge of Saints. It is located 80 Km south of Heraklion. Getting there can be tricky but nevertheless you shouldn't miss it! It is in close distance to the Monastery of Odigitria and to Sivas village.
The only way to go is by car or motorcycle. But then you will have to walk around 45 min to get there through a small corge. An alternative way is to get there by boat from Matala, Agia Galini or Kali Limenes.

Crete Matala - Moni Odigitrias ΜΟΝΗ ΟΔΗΓΗΤΡΙΑΣ - ΜΑΤΑΛΑ
Οι Φίλοι Βουνού και Θάλασσας Ηρακλείου την Κυριακή 6 Σεπτεμβρίου ξεκίνησαν από τη Μονή Οδηγητρίας και τελείωσαν την τετράωρη πεζοπορία τους στην παραλία των Ματάλων.
Μάρτσαλο - Martsalo, Crete in 4Κ
Το Μάρτσαλο είναι μια απομονωμένη παραλία που βρίσκεται στα δυτικά Αστερούσια Όρη, σε μια από τις πιο δύσβατες περιοχές του νομού Ηρακλείου. Απέχει μόλις λίγα χιλιόμετρα από τη μύτη της Μεσαράς, το Ακρωτήριο Λίθινο και 80 χλμ νοτιοδυτικά του Ηρακλείου. Χωματόδρομος που ξεκινάει από τη Μονή Οδηγήτριας και οδηγεί προς το Λίθινο μας φέρνει στην αρχή του Μαρτσαλιώτικου φαραγγιού. Η διαδρομή μέσα σε αυτό μέχρι την παραλία είναι περίπου 2 χλμ. Στην αρχή της διαδρομής υπάρχει ο σπηλαιώδης ναός της Παναγιάς της Μαρτσαλιανής, αφιερωμένη στον Ευαγγελισμό της Θεοτόκου. Η Εκκλησία, που είναι κτισμένη μέσα στον βράχο, χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως κατακόμβη κατά τη διάρκεια των χριστιανικών διωγμών. Μόλις πριν λίγους αιώνες ήρθε στο φως κατά τύχη, από ένα βοσκό καθώς είχε σκεπαστεί από βράχια. Πιστεύεται ότι πριν μετατραπεί σε ήταν Μινωικός τάφος. Πολλοί μοναχοί, κατά το παρελθόν κυρίως , επέλεγαν το Μαρτσαλιώτικο φαράγγι για να ασκητέψουν ( κάτι ανάλογο με το κοντινό Αγιοφάραγγο ) , δίνοντας έναν θρησκευτικό χαρακτήρα στην περιοχή.
Situated at the mouth of the Martsaliotiko Gorge, it is a secluded little beach, surrounded by cliffs – with sand, small pebbles and cold clear water. The sea bottom is imposing too. At the front of the shore you will find several tamarisks and stands of the Theophrastus palms. Access is relatively difficult, but worth the trouble as the scenery is quite remarkable. It all has the feel of the Middle East.
The beach and the surrounding countryside will likewise repay investigation. To reach them, you take the asphalt road to Moni Odigtria. Then choose the dirt-road which leads off right from the Monastery, following the sign for Martsalo. The road takes you to the start of the Martsaliotiko Gorge, where you leave your car and continue on foot down the gorge for some 2 km.

Monastery of Our Lady of Gonia or Monastery of Panagia Hodegetria Crete.
Welcome to our channel. This is a tour of the Monastery of Our Lady of Gonia or Monastery of Panagia Hodegetria. It is situated near the village of Kolymbari and it is one of the best-preserved monasteries on Crete; it looks like a fort and has a three apse Catholicon church and two chapels.
The initial donor (ktetor) was Brother Vlassios, a monk from Cyprus, who, according to tradition, started building the Monastery on a site to which he had been led by Mother Mary. This is why the monastery that was built between 1618 and 1637 is dedicated to Mother Mary Hodegetria (she who shows the way).
The monastery has been an attraction for numerous monks and hermits and flourished in the last decades of Venetian rule. It was conquered by the Ottomans in 1645, but had the good fortune of being under the administration of significant men of the church (like Isaias Diakopoulos), who not only preserved its fortune, but introduced the teaching of Letters and Arts at its premises. Before the Ottoman looting, the monks had arranged to send 40 valuable icons away from the monastery to other Greek territories; these were returned after the Liberation Revolution. Unfortunately, there was further looting in 1866.
Still, even today, in the museum of the monastery one can admire the wealth of its icons and manuscripts. Pride of place is given to the icons of the Crucifixion, of St. Nicholas (1637), the multi-faced icon of the Story of Joshep of the Nile (1642), two more icons of St. Nicolas (15th and 17th century), of the Transfiguration (15th century), of Mother Mary of Mercy (Eleousa) (15th century), of Christ the Prelate (15th century). The museum also has two old Monastic Codes with rich content about its history, as well as other manuscripts and sacred utensils.

Μονή Οδηγήτριας - Odigitria Monastery, Crete in 4K ( Ultra HD )
Η Ιερά Πατριαρχική και Σταυροπηγιακή Μονή Οδηγήτριας βρίσκεται πάνω στον ορεινό όγκο των Αστερουσίων Ορέων στα νότια του νομού Ηρακλείου, που αποτελούν το «Αγιον Όρος» της Κρήτης. Τα Αστερούσια υπήρξαν η κοιτίδα του Χριστιανισμού και αναπτύχθηκε σε αυτά πλούσια μοναστική και ασκητική παράδοση με κέντρο το Αγιοφάραγγο και το Μάρτσαλο.
Θεωρείται ένα από τα αρχαιότερα μοναστήρια της Κρήτης αφού αναφέρεται σε έγγραφο του Δουκικού Αρχείου του Χάνδακα (Ηράκλειο) το 1393. Στην Μονή υπάγονται και πλήθος ερημητηρίων, αλλά και εξωκκλησιών με αξιόλογες τοιχογραφίες.
