Agia Fotini Cave

The Cave of Agia Fotini was known as a hiding place during the Cretan Revolutions. In their report to the bishop of Petra, in 1899, the inhabitants of Avdou state that "The monastery of Agia Fotini, due to its location, has so far not only saved the property of the whole province (by the Turks) but also always hosted the forerunners of freedom". The same document mentions the name of the monk Daniel Tzekakis who lived in Agia Fotini. The inhabitants with this document asked the Bishop to allow the monk to take a tour of his  diocese, because the maintenance of the convent was then too tough.
