The Old Kaloeithena Monastery

Kaloidenas MonasteryThe Old Kaloeithena Monastery is 43km southeast of Rethimnon. 2,5 km away from Ano Meros village by Amari Valley area, on the slope of Kedros by an altitude of 750m. The springs of the Monastery «Kaloeithena» are found here, from which the village gets its water.

The Byzantine temple and the ruined nowadays cells show the acme of the Monastery in older years. Higher up the springs of «Krioneritissa» are found, next to an old small church.

If we continue going up from Kaloeithena on the slope in the south, at a height of about 1.100 m., there is the cave «Tripiti», which used to be a natural «fridge» for the shepherds for the ripering and storage of cheese.
