Religious, Spiritual sights in Crete

  1. Acropolis Taverna

    If you're driving to Polyrrinia, take the perimeter road at the turn off for the Acropolis Taverna which has lovely views. Behind the taverna there is a path to the left about 100m before the Agios Pateras church which leads to the acropolis. You can do a full circuit around the hill to take in the views but the path can be overgrown.
