Agios Nikitas, one of the many monasteries of Crete a little to the west of Maridaki. Accessible by boat from Tsoutsouros Village or by car from Ahedrias mountain Village. Located at the south side of the Asterousia Mountains, 86 km south from Heraklion City.
There is a nice beach close to the monastery and an interesting palm tree wood 1km western, fortunately still unknown to big crowds. You will love the area only if you are fan of isolation, of natural environment and...of the palm trees.
