Places near Church
The nun monastery of Agia Kyriaki is located near Varipetro village (about 8km south-west of Chania, very close to Limnoupolis and 1,5km east of Varipetro) in a small gorge of outstanding beauty and very rich flora. It seems that the nuns are trying to make the area into a nature preserve.
A 3 hours round walk starting in the village of Varipetro and leading through olive groves to the monastery of Agia Kiriaki, recently renovated and housing today a community of about a dozen nuns. A paved path leads to the cave hermitage of Agios Antonio, hidden away in dense vegetation.
You can then wind up to the top of a hill where one of the most imposing fortress on Crete, Kastelos, offers panoramic wiews on all the north west coast. Then go down by another path which takes you around the hill and back to Varipetro village.
