Between Lithines and Makrigialos there are signs for the Kapsa Monastery. The sign post at the sea indicates the most scenic route and affords an opportunity to stop for a swim at one of the many coves. The Kapsa Monastery is 10km from Makrigialos, about 35km from Ierapetra, on the south coast of Crete.
The fifteenth century monastery is located high on a cliff. The sanctuary of the church is in a cave with the body of the church extending outwards.
