Read the story

The church of Agios Nikolaos is located in a centre of the village Malles in the province of Ierapetra and at first glance one thinks that it is a modern temple. However, the church dates back to the Venetian period, but has undergone extensive restoration works, both externally and internally.

The temple has a very special architecture, as it has the shape of a free cross with two crossed arches, without a dome, built in two phases. Inside the church there are traces of frescoes.
