Spectrum Imagery▴ Monastery of Katholiko
Dating back to the 11th century, Katholiko is considered the oldest monastery on Crete. Located in a deep gorge, it offers impressive views, especially when approached via the scenic trail from the coastal village of Stavros to Avlaki Cove. While this route is diverse and adventurous, it’s also long and includes some challenging sections. For a shorter and more accessible option, the monastery can also be reached via a trail from Gouverneto Monastery.
