Religious Tourism

Crete is a land of saints and heroes. It has a long spiritual tradition, which includes its historical monuments, its churches, monasteries and country churches, as well as its mountains, gorges and other places of rare natural beauty.

 

These places send messages from the past and offer the visitor a different perspective, which fight against the alienation and decadence of modern times.
