Ruined monastery of Saint John the Hermit. It is considered the oldest monastery in Crete. It was probably founded in the 11th century. The monastery church and the grotto in which Saint John lived have survived to this day. You can also view the abandoned monks' cells. Some of them are carved in the rocks.
