Near Chania is the Monastery of Agia Triada which was built in the 16th century in a stunning location amid olive groves and vineyards with snow-capped mountains on the horizon. The monks produce their own wine and raki (our sort of monastery, we thought!) as well as extra virgin olive oil which is "devoutly produced in the olive groves of the monastery".

We bought a can of oil and mooched around the beautiful grounds scented with orange blossom and happened upon a cat with 2 kittens nestled at the bottom of a very large Grecian urn! A picture for you, Kathy!
