Here is the temple and the tomb of the "Holy Five Virgins", and next to it five carved rooms on the rock, where, according to tradition, the five saints honored in the area lived as ascetics. It is one of the most important sanctuaries on the east side of the prefecture of Rethymno with a history of centuries, recorded by Western European travelers since the 15th century. The whole site is located in the area of the Greco-Roman cemetery of the ancient city of Lappa, which has been excavated to some extent by the Archaeological Ephorate of Rethymnon with important findings. The tomb of the five saints, as well as the five carved rooms, where tradition places their ascetic life, are tombs of the Greco-Roman period, which were apparently used by the saints a few centuries later. Next to the temple and inside the Roman cemetery, there is a plane tree that due to its size and location in this important archaeological site, has been designated as a protected natural monument by the Greek state.
