Arkadi Monastery, Rethymno. Crete

We travelled inland today, up in to the mountains where a 16th C Monastery exists as a monument to the bravery of 900 men, women and children who took refuge there during 1866 invasion by Turkey.  They blew up the gun powder to avoid being taken.  This time in Greek History is known as the Holocaust and is remember each November.  Two monks still live there.
