Malerisch schmiegt sich das verlassene Kloster der '99 heiligen Väter' unter eine Felswand beim Bergdorf Azogires[{GoogleMap location='Azogires, Crete' zoom='13'}]. Bei den 99 Vätern handelte es sich um Missionare, die im 12. Jahrhundert über Kleinasien und Zypern nach Kreta kamen, hier den Rest ihres Lebens verbrachten und auf rätselhafte Weise alle am selben Tag starben.

Picturesque is the abandoned monastery of the '99 holy fathers' nestled under a rock wall in the mountain village of Azogires[{GoogleMap location='Azogires, Crete' zoom='13'}]. The 99 Fathers were missionaries who came to Crete in the 12th century through Asia Minor and Cyprus, spent the rest of their lives there, and mysteriously died on the same day.
