Chrysoskalitissa Monastery
is a 17th-century Orthodox monastery located on the southwest coast of the island of Crete, 72 kilometres southwest of Chania. Built up on rocks 35 metres above the water, it overlooks the Libyan Sea.
The coastal area close to the monastery promontory has several small coves that in earlier times offered welcome landing points for sailors coming to Crete from the west. There archeologists have found interesting remains of late Neolithic and Early Minoan settlements.The monastery is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and the Dormition of Virgin Mary.
