Toplou Monastery 🇬🇷

#summerdestinations Visiting Toplou Monastery in Crete was a highlight of my summer vacation. Located in the eastern part of the island, near Sitia, the monastery's entrance fee is a modest €2. The drive there offers stunning views of the Cretan countryside. The monastery, founded in the 15th century, is a tranquil retreat with its whitewashed walls and beautiful bell tower. Inside, the church is adorned with impressive frescoes and an extensive collection of icons. The peaceful atmosphere and the stunning views from the monastery grounds were a perfect way to unwind. After exploring the monastery, I visited nearby Sitia, where I enjoyed a delicious seafood meal by the harbor and strolled through the charming streets. Toplou Monastery is a must-visit for those interested in Cretan history and spirituality, offering both cultural enrichment and a serene escape. 🕍🌿 #toploumonastery #crete #explorecrete #cretanculture #summerincrete
