The church of Virgin Mary is located close to the beach of Lissos in southern Chania and was build on an early Christian church. It is close to the village of Sougia and can be assessed both by land and by sea.
Following the Lissos Gorge from Sougia, after a 90-minute walk, you will walk down to the ruins of the ancient city of Lissos and further down the Lissos Beach where the church of Virgin Mary is found. Otherwise, you could travel by boat from the harbor of Sougia for a small fee that will take you to the beach of Lissos.
