Car Rental at 'Crete - Agios Nikolaos - Port'

Another religious monument is the church of Panagia Kera, which is a temple with historical roots. In the church you can find interesting frescoes dating to the 13th-14th centuries. Despite the fact that the building looks quite modest, it continues to impress visitors with its neatness and taste, and it is possible to apply the epithet “modest but with taste” to it. The Kremasta Monastery is famous for its well-kept gardens, as well as the serenity and tranquility that prevail here. The shrine has a historical significance, since it played an important role during the Turkish occupation – this is where the secret religious school was located.

There are many interesting sculptures in Agios Nikolaos. Hence, among them it is worth noting the monuments to famous individuals – for example, a monument to the Greek politician Eleftherios Venizelos, and, of course, Saint Nicholas, after whom the city is named. Let’s not forget of course, the memorial to the victims of war that towers over Lake Voulismeni. It was built specifically to ensure that nothing and no one is forgotten. The statue of Europe and the Horn of Amalthea are also notable, bringing to mind the mythology of ancient Greece.
