Arsaniou monastery is located near Pagalochori village, 11km east of Rethymnon , in a location with panoramic views of the Cretan Sea . The church of the monastery is dedicated to Saint George and is a cruciform basilica with a dome.
A museum and a conference center operate in the complex. The name of the monastery is, probably, taken after a monk named Arsenios .
According to another aspect, the name comes either from Arsinoe , a woman who devoted her fortune to build the monastery, or the Cape of Arsinoon .
