The chapel in the 'saddle' of Oxa is called Timios Stavros, the Holy Cross. There is a celebration here on September the 14th; the raising of Timios Stavros. When viewed from Elounda Oxa looks quite intimidating but it is a relatively straightforward climb which can be done in less than 2 hours. In fact with a suitable vehicle you can drive to within 30 minutes of the summit (but that would be cheating!).</FONT></FONT><BR><BR><IMG height=300 alt="" hspace=0 src="oxa_files/oxa 023.jpg" width=400 border=0><IMG height=300 alt="" hspace=0 src="oxa_files/oxa 042.jpg" width=400 border=0><BR><IMG height=300 alt="" hspace=0 src="oxa_files/Oxa_Trevs_Service (6).JPG" width=400 border=0><IMG height=300 alt="" hspace=0 src="oxa_files/Oxa_Trevs_Service (5).JPG" width=400 border=0><BR><IMG height=300 alt="" hspace=0 src="oxa_files/oxa 032.jpg" width=400 border=0><IMG height=300 alt="" hspace=0 src="oxa_files/oxa 047.jpg" width=400 border=0><BR><IMG height=300 alt="" hspace=0 src="oxa_files/oxa 026.jpg" width=400 border=0><IMG height=300 alt="" hspace=0 src="oxa_files/oxa 030.jpg" width=400 border=0><BR><BR><A href="crete.htm"><FONT color=#ff0000 size=5><STRONG>RETURN</STRONG></FONT></A><BR></P></BODY></HTML>
