Η Παναγία του Καλού Νερού ανεγέρθη το 1881απο τον ηγούμενο της μονής Καψά Γεροντάκη Ιωσήφ εγγονό του οσίου Ιωσήφ (Γεροντογιάννη) και λειτούργησε ως μετόχι της μονής Καψά.
Ο ναός κτίσθηκε πάνω σε παλιό μονυδρίο της Παναγιάς, ενώ όπως αναφέρει ο Ν.Ι.Παπαδάκης << .. παρά το μονύδριον εὑρίσκεται ὡς λέγουσι ὑπόγειον σπήλαιον, χρησιμοποιηθέν ποτέ ὡς κατοικία ἀσκητού ..>>
Στην εκκλησία υπάρχουν χαράγματα με τη χρονολογία 1461 καθώς και 1674.
Ο Ν.Ι.Παπαδάκης το 1933 συγκεκριμένα γράφει <<....Κεχαραγμένη όμοίως επί τοιχογραφίας του Ναοῦ ,τοῦ μικρόν πρός δυσμάς ἀπέχοντος ετέρου Μονυδρίου ἤ Καλοῦ-Νεροῦ ὑπάρχει ἡ χρονολογία 1461. Αἱ χρονολογίαι αύται ἀποδεικνύουσι πρῶτον μέν ὅτι πρός ὑπ αὐτήν ἐμφαινομένου χρόνου εἶχον ἱδρυθή τά δύο ταῦτα μοναστήρια, έπειτα δε ότι κατά τόν χρόνον τούτον ήσαν έρημα Μοναχῶν, διότι μόνον εις ναούς ερημικούς, εκτάκτως υπό προσκυνητῶν επισκεπτομένους, συνηθίζετο (καί συνηθίζεται) νά χαράττωνονται έπί τοῦ τοίχου ονόματα καί χρονολογίαι…>>
Places near Zoodochos Pigi
The beaches are located in one of the most rugged areas of eastern Crete. Kalo Nero is a small village at the outlet of a small, but inaccessible, rocky canyon. You will see the church of Panagia, an old chapel built at 1865, around which the inhabitants of the mountainous village Pervolakia built buildings to stay, when they brought their cattle to graze here.
The church was built on the remains of an older chapel, owned by Kapsa Monastery, which was built in 1461. There are several springs with fresh water, hence the name Kalo Nero (i.e. Good Water), which is very strange for such an arid region. Here, you will find three remote and small beaches that are ideal for swimming away from the crowds.
