Sights
The peak of Timios Stavros is crowned by a simple two-aisled church made of stone. The view from there is breathtaking, if, of course, weather conditions are good enough, since they are usually characterized by strong winds and low temperatures.
At the cave of Idaion Andron, there used to be the most respected place for the worship of the Cretan-born Zeus. The worship was strongly present during the Minoan and Mycenaean eras and faded out in the 5th century AD.
