The Church of Saint Paraskevi is located in the picturesque mountainous village of Galipe, in eastern Heraklion, and serves as a peaceful and important religious site for the local community.

Dating back to the post-Byzantine era, it follows the simple, traditional architecture of rural Cretan churches. The church mainly operates during major religious celebrations, with the most important being July 26th, Saint Paraskevi’s feast day, when the village comes alive with local festivities and a traditional fair. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the area and experience the authentic side of the Cretan countryside.
