Kapsa Monastery (Greek: Μονή Καψά) is an Eastern Orthodox monastery situated on the southeast coast of Crete, between the villages of Makrys Gialos and Sitia in the west and Goudouras and Ierapetra in the east.
[1] It is built on a steep, rocky mountainside near the exit of the Perivolakia gorge, which overlooks the Libyan Sea.
Kapsa monastery was most probably established in the fifteenth century, although no exact date of its founding is known.
In 1841, it was rebuilt by a famous monk, Joseph Gerakionts[1] who spent his last years in a nearby cave.
