Tris Ekklisies (meaning three churches) is a remote seaside village located 40 miles south of Heraklion, in the middle of the wild landscape of the Asterousia Mountains. The village takes its name from the three ancient Byzantine churches in the village. The area, one of the most remote in Crete, has some of the most beautiful beaches. Tris Ekklisies is about 10 km after the village of Paranymfi. The road leads through the mountains of Asterousia and descends through the rough, beautiful landscape to the sea. In Paranymfi you can visit the Byzantine church of St. Paul with the old frescoes (14th century). Half a kilometer after Paranimfi, you can admire the breathtaking view of the Libyan Sea and Tris Ekklisies. In the middle of the village the waterfall of the Ambas gorge flows with a height of 145m. Tris Ekklisies is in the bay at the exit of the Ambas gorge. The walls of the gorge are home to Southern Europe's largest colony of the rare Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus). Whether culture, hiking, water sports, gastronomy or relaxation and sunbathing, Tris Ekklisies and Crete Southside Villas offer it.
