Skaleta is a small village located on Crete’s north-central coast, about 12 kms east of Rethymnon and 67 kms east of Heraklion. It is a picturesque and historical settlement. For the past couple of years it has become a popular resort and has several hotels, restaurants, and shops. The harbour of Skaleta, which was in use during the second Byzantine period, the churches of Zoodochou Pighis (life-giving spring) and of St. Nicholas, as well as archaeological finds in the environment testify the existence of a period that has not been forgotten during the course of the centuries.
The rocky part of the coastal area boasts a number of caves, the Poseidon cave being the most important among them, to which access is possible from the sea only. Inside, bizarre formations of stalactites and stalagmites, reflect the whole spectrum of colours displaying a “divine picture”.
