The cave Faneromeni is located at an altitude of about 770m, above the village Avdou in Louloudaki range. It is hard to access it, due to very steep slopes and dense vegetation. The cave is about 45m long, 9m high and its width varies from 4 to 12m. It has a rich cave decor including stalactites, stalagmites and columns.
The highest of all the waterfalls around is that of Grias Pidima in the area of Rechtra which transfers the waters from the west side of Mount Vassiliko. The waterfall consists essentially of three smaller falls and has a total height exceeding 20 meters. It has water only after a period of intense rainfall.
Just outside the charming village Panassos we meet the chapel of St. John Rigologos. St. John is accessed via a rough dirt road crossing a region with ancient olive trees and strange rocks formations full of ancient carvings. The area hosts the remains of a Minoan farmhouse and ancient stone quarries.
A small stone bridge at the upper part of Astrakiano gorge. The bridge was once crossed by people who wanted to reach Agarathos monastery from Astraki.
The impressive Cave Kouroupidon is located in the area of the village Kokkino Chorio of province Apokoronas, near the beach of Koutalis; the area hosts dozens of great caves. Detecting the entrance is difficult because it is very narrow and is not discernible.
Στη μέση του κάμπου ανάμεσα στα χωριά Πανασός και Γέργερη Ηρακλείου συναντάμε τον Άη Γιάννη το Γεργιανό. Γεργιανός λέγεται επειδή ενώ βρίσκεται κτισμένος σε αγροτική περιφέρεια του Πανασού ανήκει σήμερα στη Γέργερη. Ο Άγιος Ιωάννης ο Γεργιανός τιμάται στην γέννηση του Τιμίου Προδρόμου και γιορτάζει ανήμερα του Κλήδονα.
Between the villages Agia Varvara and Megali Vrysi, on a plateau full of vineyards, olive trees, almond trees and oaks we meet the church of St. John the Theologian. This point is located at 600 meters altitude, in the center of the island, and is of particular geological interest because it is the highest point in Crete where we meet marine fossils and shells. The church of St. John the Theologian, which still dominates the area, is surrounded by a large number of dilapidated buildings that are probably the remains of a medieval hamlet or monk cells.
The derelict flour mill of Kastrinakis is located within the Municipal Parking of Heraklion and has been declared as a protected monument since 1997, awaiting patiently for its restoration. The land was purchased by Nikolaos Kastrinakis in 1896 and in 1904 he built the initial flour mill and the furnaces.
