Vosakos Monastery

Perched on the heights of Mylopotamos, overlooking the Cretan Sea, Vosakos Monastery is a historic, fortified monastery dating back to the Venetian period. It played a part in the Cretans’ struggles and was destroyed on several occasions.

For decades it lay in ruins, but in recent decades it has been restored and is once again functioning as an active monastery. Its austere, fortress-like architecture and secluded location inspire a sense of tranquillity.

Tip: The route through the mountainous hinterland offers superb views.
