Treis Ekklisies
Treis Ekklisies is a secluded, seaside settlement located 65 km south of Heraklion Town. It was named after the three churches that can be found in the region, dedicated to The Transfiguration of Christ, Saint George, and The Annunciation of the Virgin Mary.
The village is built at the head of a bay formed at the exit of the gorge of Aba.
