Chrysoskalitissa Monastery in Elafonissi |
 |
|
The Monastery of Chrysoskalitissa is located on the coast along the road to Elafonissi. The Chrysoskalitissa Monastery is located 67 kilometres southwest of Chania and 5 kilometres north of Elafonissi. On the way there you pass the small nice village of Elos, which is known for its many chestnut trees. Elos has tavernas and small pensions that rent out rooms.

The Chrysoskalitissa Monastery is perched on a 35 metres high crag. 90 steps leads up to the monastery, one of the steps is said to be pure gold, but only those who are true believers can see the golden step. Something no one has done so far. What could that mean? :-)

Perhaps the biggest reason for stopping here is that Glykeria is located here. Glykeria is a taverna and a pension owned by a Swedish-Greek family. It is a very nice taverna with good food and restful views. The pension is popular with the readers of Kalimera (the Swedish version of Kalispera) and is suitable for those who want to relax on their holiday, and to have close to the beach at Elafonissi.
