The monastery of Panagia Chrisoskalitissa, Our Lady of the Golden Step in English, is in the remote southwest of Crete just six Kilometres from the lovely lagoon beach of Elafonisi.
What an absolutely fantastic portrait of the priest. There's a world of experience in that face. I also love the book 'The Golden Step' about a walker's travels across the E4 - the long distance footpath across Crete - and refer to it often, whenever we cross a new portion of the footpath on our travels. Last time was at the beginning of this month in the mountain village of Pefki near Makry Gialos
