Paliani Monastery is located near Venerato village, 20 kilometers from Heraklion city in Central Crete.
Is is a Female monastery, probably the oldest in the whole of Crete. It has been first recorded in 669, and was founded sometime during the first Byzantine period.
Deserted many times, in 1821 the nuns were slaughtered by the Turks and the church was burned and looted. The holy instruments, as well as other ecclesiastical items, were stolen. The current church is dedicated to Koimisi of Theotokos, Agios Panteleimonas and Three Hierarchs.

Kyparissos is a village (21 km from Heraklion City and 3km far from Profitis Elias Village), references of which we find in the document of Santa Croce, in a Venetian catalogue of the 13th and 14th centuries. Based on this information, we classify it to the 2nd Byzantine period. The village sits on a hill, over viewing the valley of Diakoniaris, the confluent river of Giofyros (the ancient Triton). The valley is mainly covered with vineyards and olive groves.
