Crete | Faneromeni Monastery
Crete | Faneromeni Monastery. The Faneromeni monastery stands on -- or rather clings to -- a spur of cliffs overlooking the large Bay of Mirabello in the northeast Crete. It can be seen from the narrow coastal plain and the main road, though it's partly camouflaged with the grey-brown rock.
Built in the 16th century, the Faneromeni monastery looks more like a defensive redoubt than a cloister, as it was hewn into the rock face as a defensive measure against the Ottoman Turk threat. The sea view from here is quite stunning.
The heart of the still-operating monastery is the church hidden inside a cave, where every 15th of August the devout flock mark the Dormition of the Virgin Mary in a colourful and moving spectacle. It is said that the monastery was built at that spot after a shepherd discovered an icon of the Virgin while looking for a lost sheep.
The Faneromeni monastery is 24 kilometres south of Agios Nikolaos, easily reachable by a side road leading off the main highway to Sitia.

Lefkada-The Monastery of Panagia Faneromeni
Location: Frini
The Monastery of Panagia Faneromeni is the most important religious centre on the island of Lefkada. Located on a hill above the Town, this monastery gives gorgeous view to the capital village, the northern side of the island and the opposite coasts of the mainland. It is situated in the region of Frini and it is the saint protector of the island. According to the tradition, the monastery of Panagia Faneromeni was originally built in 1634 on the site of an ancient temple dedicated to Artemis, the goddess of hunting. On this site, the students of Apostle Paul had preached Christianity some centuries ago. In the Venetian times, particularly in the 18th century, the monastery was renovated, but unfortunately two fires burnt it down. In the late 19th century, the monastery was reconstructed again. Today, it hosts an interesting Ecclesiastical Museum with rare Byzantine icons, old manuscripts and gospels.
