Within a few distance from the town of Zakros, starts the Gorge, which ends at the bay of Kato Zakros, almost near the Palace area. This gorge is of outstanding beauty, with large caves in its walls. In those caves were discovered tombs dated to the Minoan period, and finds of great archaeological importance. That is the reason why the caves are named "The Caves of Dead" and the gorge "The Gorge of Dead".
Because of its natural beauty and archaeological significance the gorge attracts numerous visitors every year. Discover the most unspoiled part of Crete, where palm trees end in turquoise waters and rocky mountains fall into the sea. The Monastery of Toplou dates back to the 14th century and is one of the most fascinating religious monuments in Crete. Toplou Monastery is situated in the Lasithi region between Sitia and Agios Nikolaos. It offers an unforgettable experience as its architecture and history, as well as the life of the monks and the organic products they cultivate, make it a destination in its own right. Vai beach is a whole travel experience as its astonishing natural beauty is beyond words. The palm forest ends in the sea, creating a fantastic natural setup that takes you to the Caribbean.
