A local would say...
Allied soldiers hid here, partisans fought here — and today you walk in for free and stare at the sea.
A tranquil monastery perched high above Preveli Beach on Crete's southern coast. Once a centre of anti-Ottoman resistance and a shelter for Allied soldiers during WWII, the building offers magnificent views down to the Libyan Sea and the palm-lined gorge below.
