The morning sunlight streams into The Monastery of Agia Triada (Holy Trinity).
"The Monastery of Agia Triada (Holy Trinity), or Tzagarolon Monastery as it is also known, is one of the most impressive and beautiful monasteries you will see in Crete. The Monastery is located on the Akrotiri Peninsula, in the north of Chania Prefecture and is 15 kilometers from Chania. It was built in 1634, on the site of a small church dedicated to the Holy Apostles. The monks Lavrentios and Ieremias who built the monastery came from the great Veneto-Cretan Tzagarolos family, which is reported to have exercised great influence on the local Orthodox and Catholic communities. The two brother monks were highly educated, learned in history, Greek and Latin, and also architecture.” (secretsofcrete.com)
