  • The main church of Kandanos, the magnificent temple of the Ascension, which was open in the month of October at 13:00 noon for anyone to light their candle.
  • Big Temple and imposing with very good Priests. Impressive wood carved chandeliers. Everything clean and very well organized.
  • The emblematic majestic Church of the Ascension in Kantano, a real jewel for the place.
  • A particularly large Temple for the area with wonderful frescoes and masterful wood carvings.
  • One afternoon on the way back from the Libyan Sea and the southern Cretan coast to the hotel in Kissamos, we passed through the village of Kandanos, where there is a beautiful monument to the Greek fighters against German fascism and this magnificent Greek Orthodox temple.
