It's another interesting historical place in the Rethymno regional unit, Crete Island. It is a particularly riveting place for buffs of Greek history and the Greek Orthodox church. A religious site was founded in this place around 1020 C.E. Myriokephalon village is a small village. To find a place for the car park may be a problem. I recommend visiting in the afternoon because there is much less tourist traffic and no hassle with a place for your car. You will see the time-honoured Church of Our Lady, a museum and a shop selling liturgical items. Toilets are available. I visited in October 2023.

Small, simple church is interesting for its age and the even older frescoes it contains. (We did not get to see the famous icon.) The free museum next door contains mostly 19th and 20th century religious objects, but also an older, interesting stamp seal of the monastery. Worth stopping if you are nearby.

A really historical church built hundred years ago and attracts extremely many orthodox people at the days of 7-8th of September,its a really big event, definitely worth seeing it.
