Panagia Kardiotissa and the Waterfalls!

ABOUT

Nestled amidst lush greenery near Agios Thomas of the Municipality of Gortys, lies the enchanting chapel of Panagia Kardiotissa.

In winter, the surroundings transform into a magical natural landscape, enhanced by a profound sense of spirituality, creating a truly unique spectacle. Situated just a stone's throw away from the Axedianos River, the church offers a captivating sight as waterfalls emerge during the winter months.

The fame of this church in Crete skyrocketed in 1912 when a woman experienced a vision, leading to excavations that unearthed an icon of St George.
