⏩ The
church of Saint Demetrius (Agios Dimitrios) at the small settlement of Agios
Dimitrios, about 8 klm SE of Rethymnon, is one of the most significant, and at
the same time unknown, Christian monuments in Crete. The architectural plan is corresponding
to a crossed-dome church, dated to the 11th century. The nearby village was
named after this church, and the place is wonderful and scenic. After the
recent conservation and rehabilitation works, the monument became an upcoming
destination for religious tourism and pilgrimage.
🔝 Best time to visit: on the evening of 25th of October and the morning of 26th of October, the celebrating day of Saint Demetrius.
