Μέρη κοντινά με Μόνη Αγίου Γεωργίου Επανωσήφη
It is one of the biggest monasteries on Crete. Situated at a distance of 32 kilometres from the city of Heraklion and 2 km far from Metaxochori village, the monastery is dedicated to ‘Agios Georgios’ and is celebrated on 23rd of April and on 3rd of November.
The religious festivals that take place on these dates constitute important events during which one can watch stock-raisers come to the monastery holding lambs and cheese which they leave at the church as offerings to the Saint.
At the small museum of the monastery important relics and icons are kept. Make sure you see the illustrated manuscripts with excellent miniatures of the 17th and 19th century found there but also, in the shop of the museum, the books that were written by the late calligrapher monk named Gabriel Mamougiorgis. The point is not to forget to visit the museum…
The monastery was probably founded during the 16th and 17th century but it developed during the period of the Turkish occupation (1669 – 1898). It acquired vast property and played the role of a centre of resistance against the Turks. The great number of monks who live there nowadays is an excellent example of how the island’s monastic tradition is preserved.

Τα Λιβάδια είναι ένα ερειπωμένο χωριό στο Μονοφάτσι. Σήμερα διατηρούνται μονάχα λείψανα κτισμάτων στο μέρος που ήταν τα Λιβάδια. Τα μεν σπίτια των κατοίκων του, έχουν καταστραφεί εντελώς. Κατερειπωμένος, αλλά σε καλύτερη κατάσταση από τα υπόλοιπα κτίσματα, διατηρείται στο υψηλότερο σημείο του οικισμού, ο πύργος των Λαγγουβάρδων. Ο πύργος βρισκόταν στη μέση του χωριού και γύρω-γύρω τα σπιτάκια των κατοίκων του, που ήταν όλοι φαμέγιοι του Λαγγουβάρδου και δούλευαν στα χωράφια και τα βοσκοτόπια του. Η χρήση του χώρου του, μέχρι και σήμερα για τον σταυλισμό των ζώων επέτειναν την καταστροφή του.
