Far West Crete · Chania Prefecture
Dramatically situated on a rock above the Mediterranean at the southwestern tip of Crete, this 17th-century monastery is dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. Its name — "Gold Step" — derives from the legend that one of its 90 stone steps is visible as solid gold only to the pure of heart. The principal Marian pilgrimage site in western Crete.
