The Monastery of Preveli is 37km from Rethymno. It is divided into two sections, the lower monastery of Prodromos and the back monastery of Theologos. Moreover, it has a rich collection of icons, vestments, silver utensils, books and manuscripts, which are displayed in the museum housed on the premises of the monastery. One of the most important heirlooms of the monastery is the miraculous Holy Cross, which has a piece of the Holy Wood from Constantinople. Due to Kourtaliotis Gorge, the monastery is surrounded by rich nature, which you will have the opportunity to enjoy if you visit the monastery.
