Nestled amidst lush greenery near Agios Thomas of the Municipality of Gortys, lies the enchanting chapel of Panagia Kardiotissa.

In winter, the surroundings transform into a magical natural landscape, enhanced by a profound sense of spirituality, creating a truly unique spectacle. Situated just a stone's throw away from the Axedianos River, the church offers a captivating sight as waterfalls emerge during the winter months.

The fame of this church in Crete skyrocketed in 1912 when a woman experienced a vision, leading to excavations that unearthed an icon of St George.

Visitors to the area can also find accommodation at a nearby guest house, ensuring a memorable and immersive experience.
