The Holy Dormition Church of the Virgin is located in the traditional village of Anogia in the Rethymno region and serves as one of the central and most respected places of worship in the community.

Dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, the church plays a significant role in the village’s religious life, especially during the major feast on August 15th, when many worshippers gather for liturgies and celebratory events. The chapel features traditional Orthodox architectural elements that reflect the deep sense of faith and reverence toward the Virgin Mary. Visiting the church offers a moment of peace in the heart of the village, while the surrounding paved alleys, squares, and stone houses complete the experience of traditional Cretan life.
