    Historically interesting and you are completely alone with the Cretan mountains. Many compare the monastery to the “first Greek university” as it was an important center for literature and education. The founder taught his students Greek philosophy, the Patrists of the Church, mathematics and built a writing room in which he studied code, manuscripts, parchments, patristic texts and ancient writers, especially the work of Aristotle, which was under persecution in Europe at the time , copied.
