South-east of the Pefki village in a distance of 3,5 kilometres and another so long from the settlement of Analipsis is found the little church of Agios Georgios which in the past was known as Monastery of Samakidis.
It is built under a ca-vernal precipice at the point where history reports that there was a hermitage of nuns. Writings regarding the Temple or the monastery have not been found. Probably any writings were disappeared at the long-lasting possession of Turks. Tradition and history report that in 1471 A.D. by the raid of Turks most villages of Sitia province and Abbeys were destroyed.
