The "Saints groove" is how the locals call the beautiful canyon that starts from the Gouverneto monastery in Chania on the island of Crete. A hidden and silent story of ascetics and saints who lived their life in that Canyon conducts a story that dwells from the depths of the centuries, a story that started from Egypt , where Saint John the Hermit came from. Continuing his life in Cyprus and Antalya (probably fleeing due to the spread of Islam ) he, among with 98 monks finally arrive in Crete. They never wanted to become 100 because the first and last for them has always been Jesus Christ.
After their arrival in Crete Saint John the Hermit, wanting to live in total isolation, left the brotherhood and lived alone in the holy Canyon without anyone knowing his existence there. The day came when a hunter unleashed his arrow on the Saint, thinking he was a wild animal. At that day the hermit departed from this world. God, had not forgotten the wish the 99 hermits gave him when they all were together. The wish was to leave this world all together, and "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you", the rest 98 hermits, without knowing that their leader had died, left this life in peace at the same day.
The adventurous history of 99 hermits, of pirates who plundered the monasteries and the miraculous events that occurred, could easily be a fictional story but every bit of it is real and painted with holy blood.
The monastery on the top of the hill, was built in the 16th century and has not changed much since then. It is called "Lady of the Angels" and is devoted to Virgin Mary, our Panagia. The eight monks welcomed us warmly. The abbot of the monastery, Archimandrite Irenaeus, throws light over the centuries in this video, recounting those that happened, that expand our spiritual horizons.

Το "αυλάκι του Αγίου", όπως συνηθίζουν οι ντόπιοι να αποκαλούν το φαράγγι που ξεκινά από τη Μονή Γουβερνέτου, κρύβει στα σπλάχνα του μια κρυφή και σιωπηλή ιστορία ασκητών και Αγίων που έζησαν εκεί το βίο τους. Η ιστορία, βγαλμένη μέσα από τους αιώνες ξεκινά από την Αίγυπτο, απ`όπου καταγόταν ο Όσιος Ιωάννης ο Ερημίτης. Πέρασε στην Κύπρο και την Αττάλεια (μάλλον λόγω της εξάπλωσης του Ισλάμ) μέχρι που έφτασε με άλλους 98 μοναχούς στην Κρήτη. Η ιστορία των 99 ασκητών, οι πειρατές που λεηλατούσαν τις μονές καθώς και τα θαυμαστά γεγονότα που συνέβησαν στη συνέχεια, μοιάζουν με περιπέτεια που επινόησε κάποιο ευφάνταστο ανθρώπινο μυαλό αλλά είναι πέρα ως πέρα αληθινή και βαμμένη με αίμα.
Ένας τόπος ιερός, που οι 8 μοναχοί της Ι.Μ. Κυρίας των Αγγέλων Γουβερνέτου μας υποδέχθηκαν θερμά. Ο ηγούμενος της Μονής, αρχιμ. Ειρηναίος, ρίχνει φως μέσα στους αιώνες, εξιστορώντας μας εκείνα που συνέβησαν και που διευρύνουν τους πνευματικούς μας ορίζοντες.

Katholiko Gorge hike: the Katholiko gorge is hidden away on the small peninsula Akroteri (Chania). The hike starts at the Gouverneto monastery. An old trail descends and after 2 kilometres you will find your first stop. Here you can explore an hidden cave and beautiful antique Venetian arches. The hidden cave is full with crystals, stalagmites and underground passages. An old church is built in this cave. You definitively need a torch for entering this cave! The next trail brings us to the oldest monastery of Crete: Katholikou. This hidden monastery was built in the year 1000 at the entrance of the gorge, which ends at the beach. The monastery also has a deep cave with crystals, stalagmites and underground passages. It is very dark in the cave, so you should also enter this cave with a lamp or torch. The different buildings of the monastery are all abandoned, but in very good state. Our next path brings us to an old arch bridge, under this bridge is the actual beginning of the gorge. In the gorge you will find small hidden caves, beautiful plants and lots of goats! The gorge ends at the sea, where you will find an old Venetian laundry basin. An excellent spot to take a dive or snorkel in the clear blue water! The contrast of colours is magnificent: white rocks and clear blue water. Further down the coast you will find different kinds of lava: black, yellow, white and red lava stones.
This gorge offers lots of different elements in a 1 day excursion. First the canyon with old caves and shepherd's huts from the past. On the peninsula Akroteri close to Chania are different hikes possible. You can hike around Akroteri, but this is only suitable for experienced hikers, you will hang from cliffs and will need a climbing rope to continue. But you can also hike through the gorge from the bridge of Katholiko, turn right and hike back to the monastery of Gourneto or take the old stone trail upwards. We offer you several hike: a 3 hours hike (6 kilometres), a 6 hours hike (8 kilometres) or a hike of 8 hours (12 kilometres) with lots of climbing. Bring good hiking shoes, a torch for the caves and a snorkel set with you. Be careful in the cave, there a lots of holes in the floor!

Crete is unlike other Greek islands in that it has a clearly-defined feel and culture of its own. And if you get there via Chania, either by air or by passenger ferry, the Cretan feel is very intense.
There is enough to see in the town of Chania itself. But the Chania region covers the whole western bit of Crete, with its superb beaches and mountains and myriad villages waiting to be explored.
The oldest monastery in Crete, the Gouverneto, almost rubbing shoulders with the airport at Chania, is worth a visit for sheer atmosphere that reminds some people of old Spain or Mexico.
There's Kastelli beach and another idyllic one at Falassarna which are remote enough for even the most jaded tourist.
We've only just scratched the surface.

CHANIA Port of Call for "Navigator of the Seas" cruise ship docked in Souda Bay actually - in sunny Crete, Greece
Friday morning (October 11, 2013), we had a TAXI waiting for us in Souda Bay -- pre-scheduled for a day tour (at 30 EURO/hour standard rate). Mano was our driver for the day!
First STOP -- enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and views of our RCI cruise ship from the Souda Bay War Cemetery (British Commonwealth War Cemetery) -- located approximately 5 km east from the center of Chania (Xania).
Next STOP --
The Monastery of Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) -- or Tzagarolon Monastery as it is also known -- is one of the most impressive monasteries you will see in Crete.
The Monastery of Agia Triada is located on the Akrotiri Peninsula, north of Chania Prefecture.
It is 15 kilometres from Chania; close to the equally famous Monastery of Gouverneto.
Once again, we were the first to arrive (before the large tour bus caught up to us as their passengers did when we were leaving the Suda Bay Cemetery earlier that Friday morning).
As soon as you enter the gate, you will see the wells and stairs adorned with bougainvillea, oleander and other seasonal flowers, adding a lovely accent to the complex.
This may be one of the few Cretan monasteries where the inner courtyard is so beautiful and well cared for.
The west wing of the monastery is a three-story building and includes vaulted storerooms where the wine and olive oil were once kept, while most of the courtyard is taken up by a large cistern which was used to collect rainwater from the surrounding buildings.
The Monastery of Agia Triada has a distinctive façade with Doric columns, but the elements of Renaissance architecture reminded us that the monastery was built by the Cretan monks Ieremias and Lavrentios (of the Venetian Orthodox Tzagarolos family).
By Orthodox Church tradition, the Patriarch has the right, when a monastery is founded in his jurisdiction, to send a cross which is placed in the foundations and establishes its direct dependence on him.
Monastery of Agia Triada opening hours:
8 a.m. to sunset
Winter :8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then 4 p.m. to sunset
Gentle REMINDER:
Please make sure you are decently dressed when visiting the monastery.
The Monastery of Agia Triada Tzagarolon was built in 1634, on the site of a small church dedicated to the Holy Apostles.
The monastery supports schools in Chania, and a seminary has operated within the monastery itself since 1892.
We visited the monastery church and complex and then wandered round the area for a while.
NOT to be missed -- the large exhibition of woodcarvings and icons in the monastery's Museum.
Inside the complex there was an olive press and a cellar for the wine produced by the monastery, while on the south side is the monastery library, formerly the Abbot's Room.
In recent years the Monastery of Agia Triada Tzagarolon has developed the systematic cultivation of organic vines and olives, and produces excellent wine, tsikoudia (raki), olive oil, honey, vinegar and olive oil soap.
The monastery produces 20 tonnes of organic virgin olive oil per year. It has won international prizes and is mainly sold abroad.
The following wines are produced: dry red Cabernet, dry red Fokiano Romeiko, dry red Merlot, dry white Trebiano
Naturally, all the products of Agia Triada are available for sale from the monastery shop.
We find the Monastery to be a lovely, peaceful and pretty impressive place - certainly worth a visit!

One of the most beautiful monasteries of Crete. Built in the 16th century, it still keeps its original design and architecture. What makes it different from the rest of the monasteries is the golden colour of the building stones that keep their original brightness and colour despite the 400 years that have passed since its construction. Next to the monastery, the visitor can see the monastery's winery and the small museum of winery materials.

Gouverneto Monastery
Gouverneto Monastery or Our Lady of the Angels is a Greek Orthodox monastery in the Akrotiri peninsula of the Chania regional unit of Crete, Greece, located about 5 kilometres north of the Agia Triada Monastery.
Dated to 1537 (although other sources say 1548), the monastery is a Venetian style fortress with towers at each end with some Baroque influences added later. It measures roughly 40 metres by 50 metres and contains some 50 monks’ cells on two floors. It is reputed to be one of the oldest monasteries in Crete, and a 1637 census, recorded shortly before the Turkish invasion, revealed that at the time there were 60 monks living in Gouverneto Monastery, also making it one of the largest in Crete at the time. The courtyard is rectangular shaped and is dominated by a dome church dedicated to the virgin and has an ornate Venetian facade. The chapel in the courtyard is reported to have some of the oldest frescoes in Crete.
To the west side of the monastery is the narthex, and contains chapels dedicated to St John the Hermit and the Ten Holy Martyrs. There are some notable monsters carved in relief on the front of the church. A cave called Arkouditissa or Arkoudia, is also located in the vicinity where the goddess Artemis was once worshiped.

Agia Triada Monastery, Chania region
One of the most beautiful monasteries of Crete. Built in the 16th century, it still keeps its original design and architecture. What makes it different from the rest of the monasteries is the golden colour of the building stones that keep their original brightness and colour despite the 400 years that have passed since its construction. Next to the monastery, the visitor can see the monastery's winery and the small museum of winery materials.

The "Saints groove" is how the locals call the beautiful canyon that starts from the Gouverneto monastery in Chania on the island of Crete. A hidden and silent story of ascetics and saints who lived their life in that Canyon conducts a story that dwells from the depths of the centuries, a story that started from Egypt , where Saint John the Hermit came from. Continuing his life in Cyprus and Antalya (probably fleeing due to the spread of Islam ) he, among with 98 monks finally arrive in Crete. They never wanted to become 100 because the first and last for them has always been Jesus Christ.
After their arrival in Crete Saint John the Hermit, wanting to live in total isolation, left the brotherhood and lived alone in the holy Canyon without anyone knowing his existence there. The day came when a hunter unleashed his arrow on the Saint, thinking he was a wild animal. At that day the hermit departed from this world. God, had not forgotten the wish the 99 hermits gave him when they all were together. The wish was to leave this world all together, and "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you", the rest 98 hermits, without knowing that their leader had died, left this life in peace at the same day.
The adventurous history of 99 hermits, of pirates who plundered the monasteries and the miraculous events that occurred, could easily be a fictional story but every bit of it is real and painted with holy blood.
The monastery on the top of the hill, was built in the 16th century and has not changed much since then. It is called "Lady of the Angels" and is devoted to Virgin Mary, our Panagia. The eight monks welcomed us warmly. The abbot of the monastery, Archimandrite Irenaeus, throws light over the centuries in this video, recounting those that happened, that expand our spiritual horizons.

Το "αυλάκι του Αγίου", όπως συνηθίζουν οι ντόπιοι να αποκαλούν το φαράγγι που ξεκινά από τη Μονή Γουβερνέτου, κρύβει στα σπλάχνα του μια κρυφή και σιωπηλή ιστορία ασκητών και Αγίων που έζησαν εκεί το βίο τους. Η ιστορία, βγαλμένη μέσα από τους αιώνες ξεκινά από την Αίγυπτο, απ`όπου καταγόταν ο Όσιος Ιωάννης ο Ερημίτης. Πέρασε στην Κύπρο και την Αττάλεια (μάλλον λόγω της εξάπλωσης του Ισλάμ) μέχρι που έφτασε με άλλους 98 μοναχούς στην Κρήτη. Η ιστορία των 99 ασκητών, οι πειρατές που λεηλατούσαν τις μονές καθώς και τα θαυμαστά γεγονότα που συνέβησαν στη συνέχεια, μοιάζουν με περιπέτεια που επινόησε κάποιο ευφάνταστο ανθρώπινο μυαλό αλλά είναι πέρα ως πέρα αληθινή και βαμμένη με αίμα.
Ένας τόπος ιερός, που οι 8 μοναχοί της Ι.Μ. Κυρίας των Αγγέλων Γουβερνέτου μας υποδέχθηκαν θερμά. Ο ηγούμενος της Μονής, αρχιμ. Ειρηναίος, ρίχνει φως μέσα στους αιώνες, εξιστορώντας μας εκείνα που συνέβησαν και που διευρύνουν τους πνευματικούς μας ορίζοντες.

Katholiko Gorge hike: the Katholiko gorge is hidden away on the small peninsula Akroteri (Chania). The hike starts at the Gouverneto monastery. An old trail descends and after 2 kilometres you will find your first stop. Here you can explore an hidden cave and beautiful antique Venetian arches. The hidden cave is full with crystals, stalagmites and underground passages. An old church is built in this cave. You definitively need a torch for entering this cave! The next trail brings us to the oldest monastery of Crete: Katholikou. This hidden monastery was built in the year 1000 at the entrance of the gorge, which ends at the beach. The monastery also has a deep cave with crystals, stalagmites and underground passages. It is very dark in the cave, so you should also enter this cave with a lamp or torch. The different buildings of the monastery are all abandoned, but in very good state. Our next path brings us to an old arch bridge, under this bridge is the actual beginning of the gorge. In the gorge you will find small hidden caves, beautiful plants and lots of goats! The gorge ends at the sea, where you will find an old Venetian laundry basin. An excellent spot to take a dive or snorkel in the clear blue water! The contrast of colours is magnificent: white rocks and clear blue water. Further down the coast you will find different kinds of lava: black, yellow, white and red lava stones.
This gorge offers lots of different elements in a 1 day excursion. First the canyon with old caves and shepherd's huts from the past. On the peninsula Akroteri close to Chania are different hikes possible. You can hike around Akroteri, but this is only suitable for experienced hikers, you will hang from cliffs and will need a climbing rope to continue. But you can also hike through the gorge from the bridge of Katholiko, turn right and hike back to the monastery of Gourneto or take the old stone trail upwards. We offer you several hike: a 3 hours hike (6 kilometres), a 6 hours hike (8 kilometres) or a hike of 8 hours (12 kilometres) with lots of climbing. Bring good hiking shoes, a torch for the caves and a snorkel set with you. Be careful in the cave, there a lots of holes in the floor!

Crete is unlike other Greek islands in that it has a clearly-defined feel and culture of its own. And if you get there via Chania, either by air or by passenger ferry, the Cretan feel is very intense.
There is enough to see in the town of Chania itself. But the Chania region covers the whole western bit of Crete, with its superb beaches and mountains and myriad villages waiting to be explored.
The oldest monastery in Crete, the Gouverneto, almost rubbing shoulders with the airport at Chania, is worth a visit for sheer atmosphere that reminds some people of old Spain or Mexico.
There's Kastelli beach and another idyllic one at Falassarna which are remote enough for even the most jaded tourist.
We've only just scratched the surface.

CHANIA Port of Call for "Navigator of the Seas" cruise ship docked in Souda Bay actually - in sunny Crete, Greece
Friday morning (October 11, 2013), we had a TAXI waiting for us in Souda Bay -- pre-scheduled for a day tour (at 30 EURO/hour standard rate). Mano was our driver for the day!
First STOP -- enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and views of our RCI cruise ship from the Souda Bay War Cemetery (British Commonwealth War Cemetery) -- located approximately 5 km east from the center of Chania (Xania).
Next STOP --
The Monastery of Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) -- or Tzagarolon Monastery as it is also known -- is one of the most impressive monasteries you will see in Crete.
The Monastery of Agia Triada is located on the Akrotiri Peninsula, north of Chania Prefecture.
It is 15 kilometres from Chania; close to the equally famous Monastery of Gouverneto.
Once again, we were the first to arrive (before the large tour bus caught up to us as their passengers did when we were leaving the Suda Bay Cemetery earlier that Friday morning).
As soon as you enter the gate, you will see the wells and stairs adorned with bougainvillea, oleander and other seasonal flowers, adding a lovely accent to the complex.
This may be one of the few Cretan monasteries where the inner courtyard is so beautiful and well cared for.
The west wing of the monastery is a three-story building and includes vaulted storerooms where the wine and olive oil were once kept, while most of the courtyard is taken up by a large cistern which was used to collect rainwater from the surrounding buildings.
The Monastery of Agia Triada has a distinctive façade with Doric columns, but the elements of Renaissance architecture reminded us that the monastery was built by the Cretan monks Ieremias and Lavrentios (of the Venetian Orthodox Tzagarolos family).
By Orthodox Church tradition, the Patriarch has the right, when a monastery is founded in his jurisdiction, to send a cross which is placed in the foundations and establishes its direct dependence on him.
Monastery of Agia Triada opening hours:
8 a.m. to sunset
Winter :8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then 4 p.m. to sunset
Gentle REMINDER:
Please make sure you are decently dressed when visiting the monastery.
The Monastery of Agia Triada Tzagarolon was built in 1634, on the site of a small church dedicated to the Holy Apostles.
The monastery supports schools in Chania, and a seminary has operated within the monastery itself since 1892.
We visited the monastery church and complex and then wandered round the area for a while.
NOT to be missed -- the large exhibition of woodcarvings and icons in the monastery's Museum.
Inside the complex there was an olive press and a cellar for the wine produced by the monastery, while on the south side is the monastery library, formerly the Abbot's Room.
In recent years the Monastery of Agia Triada Tzagarolon has developed the systematic cultivation of organic vines and olives, and produces excellent wine, tsikoudia (raki), olive oil, honey, vinegar and olive oil soap.
The monastery produces 20 tonnes of organic virgin olive oil per year. It has won international prizes and is mainly sold abroad.
The following wines are produced: dry red Cabernet, dry red Fokiano Romeiko, dry red Merlot, dry white Trebiano
Naturally, all the products of Agia Triada are available for sale from the monastery shop.
We find the Monastery to be a lovely, peaceful and pretty impressive place - certainly worth a visit!
