One of these Turkish Towers was built at the position Kelia, just above Fodele beach (south of the beach) overlooking the sea. Today some ruins of the fort remind of its glory past, although completely abandoned by the local government. Next to it, we meet the chapel dedicated to Saint John, which once served as a monastery. The cells (kelia) of the monks gave their name to the area.
Στη νοτιοανατολική πλευρά του όρους Σανίδα, κοντά στο χωριό Σκούρβουλα, σχηματίζεται το μικρό και πολύ άγριο τεχνικό φαράγγι του Ριζόπετρου. Το φαράγγι τερματίζει κοντά στο φράγμα της Φανερωμένης, στο οποίο καταλήγει και το νερό του, μετά από μια πολύ εντυπωσιακή κατάβαση συνολικού ύψους 60μ.
The church of St. George is located at village Ano Symi. The church with the beautiful frescoes of the painter Manuel Fokas (1453) was originally single-nave and later was added a lateral narthex.
Ο ναός του Αγίου Νικήτα (13ος αιώνας), που λειτούργησε κι ως μονή, βρίσκεται περίπου 300μ. ΒΑ του Φραγκοκάστελου, πάνω στα ερείπια παλαιοχριστιανικής βασιλικής του 6ου αιώνα. Στο εσωτερικό του φέρει ίχνη τοιχογραφιών σε κακή κατάσταση.
Monastery of Fraro or St. Anthony' in Simeti is located 1km west of Neapolis. It is a ruined Franciscan convent dedicated to San Antonio. The name comes from the Latin word Frari, as the meaning Franciscan friars were called.
East of Limnes village, near Agios Ioannis church, we still meet two of the several windmill parks of Crete. Each park still hosts six windmills in a row (twelve overall), with the roofs being collapsed. These mills are of the more usual mill type, that turns only in a certain wind called Axetrocharis (this has a rectangular shape).
In 1903, the independent Cretan State built a single arched bridge called Kamara that collapsed in 2018. It was 10m wide and very inclined. The place can be accessed by a dirt road that stops here. It was very tough to locate the bridge due to the lush vegetation.
In the deserted village Drakiana, near the lake of Agia and in the banks of Keritis river, we meet the small Byzantine church of Saint George (Agios Georgios Methystis) bearing traces of frescoes of the Venetian Era and hosting a grave. The church celebrates on November 3, when the barrels with wine are first opened.
