The monastery complex of the 98 Holy Fathers was founded here in 1864 in memory of St. John the Hermit, who is said to have introduced ascetic monasticism to Crete. There is also a small museum to visit (cretanbeaches.com/en/religious-monuments-on-crete/inactive-monasteries-and-hermitages/monasterial-monuments-of-selino/monastery-of-the -98-holy-fathers-azogyres).
