It is located on the west bank of the river Aposelemis, on the slopes opposite Potamies village and very close to it. The western side of the temple is a natural rock on the rest of the structure has been attached. From the point of the temple which is surrounded by luh vegetation the views to the valley of Aposelemis and Potamies is amazing.
The Church of St. John the Theologian in Margarites is located at the southwest side of the village. It is a single-room vaulted temple and its interior bears traces of frescoes and an impressive stone iconostasis (icon shrine). On each side of the temple there are three blind arches.
The funerary temple of Archangel Michael at Arkalohori is a cruciform temple with the main aisle being lower than its vertical aisle. Also there is a narthex with a dome. The church bears frescoes of the 13th century (the frescoes in the narthex date back from the 14th century).
In the middle of the village Apomarmas we meet the Byzantine church of Panagia Galaktousa, dating back from the 13th century. According to tradition the founder used milk instead of water in the mortar, thus the name Galaktousa (milky) was given. In fact the name probably is connected with the icon of the Virgin suckling Christ.
On the road that runs from Chania to Keramia, before reaching village Malaxa, we meet the small church of St. Andrew. Saint Andrew has always been a major milestone for the region because of the adjacent spring with water that quenched their thirst hikers from the region on their way to the villages of Keramia. The spring site is seen from afar due to the large plane located there.
Next to the church of Panagia (Virgin Mary) at the settlement Anisaraki by Kandanos we find the single-nave vaulted church of Agia Paraskevi. The church bears frescoes in poor condition from the first half of the 14th century.
Near the villages Alagni and Patsideros of Heraklion, on a low hill, lies the deserted village of Rouma. We do not know when it was founded, but it is referred in the census of 1630. Rouma in the Cretan dialect means stream and is taken after the stream next to the village, where a spring with fresh water flows all year round.
The church of Our Lady (Panagia) at Keramoutsi was originally a single-nave temple and bore frescoes. From the original building survives the eastern part (the apse) with folk art frescoes of the 14th century. In the 16th century the church, for some unknown reason, was renovated and converted into a cruciform temple with a dome.
