Historic Churches & Monasteries

Crete’s religious heritage reflects a complex history of Byzantine, Ottoman, and Venetian influences. This collection features the 16th-century Arkadi Monastery, a symbol of Cretan resistance, and the 17th-century Gonia Monastery, known for its significant icon collection. Architectural diversity is highlighted by the domed Yiali Tzami mosque in Chania and the Etz Hayyim Synagogue, the island's sole remaining Jewish place of worship. The list also includes the unique St. Nicolas Chapel, reachable via a narrow stone causeway in Georgioupoli.
