The village of Fres in the Apokoronas on Crete

The village of Fres is situated on the foot of the White Mountains in the Apokoronas Area, not far and a little west from the village of Vrisses. The nearest large town is Chania. Fres is a quiet and sleepy village without much tourism. The village has a large village square with tavernas, kafenions and shops. In the middle is the imposing church of the village and a memorial with statues. We did not see it yet, but Fres is famous for its church of Madonna of the Two Rocks, which is set on two large rocks and surrounded by terraced gardens. It can be reached by following the signs from the main square leading to the upper village. From the church there is a path leading to the St. Antonius Cave, where you have panoramic views to Souda Bay and the Akrotiri peninsula.
