Features
History
The coastal area close to the monastery promontory has several small coves that in earlier times offered welcome landing points for sailors coming to Crete from the west.[1] There archeologists have found interesting remains of late Neolithic and Early Minoan settlements .[2]
According to local tradition, the name of the monastery is derived from one of the ninety steps leading up to the main building. This step is said to be golden (χρυσός - chrysos in Greek) and visible only to devout Christians.[3] The monastery is dedicated to the Holy Trinity (Aγία Τριάδα - Agia Triada) and the Dormition of Virgin Mary (Κοίμησης της Θεοτόκου - Koimisis tis Theotokou).
