Tips
The church in Kapetaniana is the last remnant of the monastery that once stood here. Inside you can admire murals of the so-called Idealist School, created by painters of sacred images from Constantinople in 1402. There was already a sanctuary here in the times of the Minoans - 3000 years ago!
