Between Palekastro and Zakros in the east of Crete you will find lots of beautiful traditional villages with pretty churches in a green surrounding. Langada is one of these villages. It has a church in the shape of a cross. Is is situated in a fertile valley with lots of olive trees and it not far from the sea and the beaches. A small white sign with blue writing will lead you over a path through the olive tree fields to some sort of small monastery that is glued to the mountain.
