Agarathos Monastery is a fortified monastic complex built during the Venetian period (1205–1669). It is one of the oldest active male monasteries on Crete.

In the early 14th Century an early Gothic basilica was built in the middle of the village. The aisles were removed and the arcades were bricked up in 1500, when the church was fortified. Above the chancel a defence tower was erected. The chancel’s polygonal closure was heightened with two defence levels and the buttresses were connected by arches, in order to build a machicoulis gallery behind them. The ensemble was strengthened by a surrounding wall in 1502, completed by a gate building and an adjoining bacon Chamber on the north-west side . The tower was heightened in 1827 and received its striking pyramidal roof. At the same time its defence systems together with the defence level of the chancel were removed . The typical western gable of the church was erected in the same time with the renewal of the roof in 1854. Inside the church the mainly 18th-century furniture is still preserved.

The church in Agdenes was built in 1857 according to the designs of the architect Christian Heinrich Grosch. The church has a gallery, which was added in 1982. Originally, there was a bell tower in the middle of the nave, so that the bell rang from the middle of the church hall. But in 1869 a separate tower was built over the church entrance. The church in Agdenes was due to be consecrated on 24 March 1858, but the weather was so bad that the dedication had to be postponed for two days.

Tradition has it that a church in homage to Saint Caprais was built at the beginning of the 5th century by Bishop Saint Dulcid who allegedly transported the relics of the martyrs there. A basilica dedicated to Saint Caprais probably existed in 580. After being cleared again in December 1561, during the Wars of Religion, the collegiate church of Saint-Caprais became a fodder store in 1791 before being reopened in 1796 and becoming the official cathedral of Agen, after the destruction of the old Saint-Étienne cathedral during the Revolution. It was elevated to the rank of a cathedral in 1802.

In Lapithos and the surrounding area many churches and chapels could be found. There are six Greek Orthodox parishes (enories) which all have their own parish church.
