Places near Agios Methodios
Nivritos village belongs to the district of the Municipality of Rouvas and it's located just before the village of Zaros.
Do not miss a lovely plane tree.
The frescoed cave temple of Agios Efthimios is situated on a high altitude, near the entrance of the gorge of Zaros, close and over the Monastery of Agios Nikolaos. The Italian architect Gerola, who photographed all the important monuments of Crete around the 1900s, recorded a 1438 inscription on the frescoes.
The temple was closely connected to the religious activity in the region during the 14th-15th century and to the Monstery of Varsamonero. It might have been a chapel of the Monastery. In the older times, it was a hermitage.
Next to the cave-temple there are caves and cavities that also served as hermitages. The location has all the characteristics of a hermitage site: it is isolated, far away from inhabited areas and only a hard-to-access path leads there, which is also dangerous due to frequent earth and rock falls.
