Apartments and hotels in Myriokefala village from Crete Island

Located at an altitude of 500m, Myriokefala village is situated 37km away from the city of Rethymno. The village is home to around 400 inhabitants, most of whom are farmers and stock breeders. The name Myriokefala, which means “myriads of heads,” was given to the village due to its hilly terrain. Notably, the village is the birthplace of George Maravelakis, a prominent fighter during the 1866 revolution against the Turks. One of the village’s main attractions is the Monastery of Miriokefala, which was established by Ai Kir Giannis, a Cretan Saint, in the 11th century. The monastery is dedicated to the Holy Mother and features several icons of Byzantine art, including one of the Holy Mother.
