Toplou Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

A beautiful monastery in a secluded location. However, you should arrive early for a visit, as it is on the way to the palm-lined beach of Vai and many tour buses stop here.

Calm and dry morning next to a nudist beach (nobody around). The way back to Sitia uneventful though very windy. Stopped at Toplou Monastery to look around. Got a bottle of water from a Romanian tourist couple. Checked into an apartment to avoid wind and got ready for tomorrow's early morning ferry ride.
