It lies in Mesa Lasithi, within the Lasithi Plateau, and is ideal for short excursions.
Here you’ll find the stone-built church of Saint John the Baptist, set next to a spring with running water, as well as the monument to the Hainides, the renowned Cretan rebels.
After the revolution of 1821, Captain Kazanis and his men would retreat here to launch their attacks against the Ottomans.
