Agios Pavlos

Came across this church during a hike in the south of Crete, just before Agia Rumeli, the village at the end of the famous Samaria gorge. Agios Pavlos, or Saint Paul, is the oldest church in Crete. If I remember right, it is about 1100 years old. It is said that it was build on the spot where St Paul baptized people on his way to Rome.

Amazing church to see, especially after a few hours hiking.
