Location: The monastery was located near Chalepa Monastery, in the Mylopotamos municipality of Crete, Greece.
Dimensions: The dimensions of the monastery complex are not known, but the remaining church is a single-aisled Byzantine structure.
Historical Significance: Agia Marina Monastery was a significant religious institution in the region, likely with close ties to the nearby Chalepa Monastery. Both monasteries were associated with the Kallergis family, a prominent Cretan clan.
