Louma: Take a Stroll Among Windmills

Cities & Villages

ABOUT

Visit the small village of Louma in Agios Nikolaos and discover its stone-built windmills!

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Cretan Sea from every corner of the area!

Light and wind have sculpted the stone, soil, and trees of this landscape.

In the village, you’ll find the preserved catholicon of the small Monastery of Archangel Michael (formerly part of Areti, featuring an inscription dated 1604 with the name of the founding monk Nikodimos Hassanis), as well as the old church of Saint John the Stranger (which belonged to the Kardamoutsa Monastery).
