These are the most popular villages in Messara, which offer a pleasant mix of authentic Cretan village life and individual tourism with cafes, taverns and some shops with local products.
The Messara plane is located on the south side of the Heraklion prefecture, in an elongated area 50 km long and no more than 7 km wide.
To the south, the valley is protected by the wild Asterousia Mountains, while its west side is bordered by a wide beach with sandy beaches.
The villages of fertile Messara harmoniously integrate into the landscape of olive & fruit tree groves. They perfectly combine the traditional Cretan way of life, the real hospitality, and the warm heart of the residents with holidays on the beach and excursions to many nearby attractions.
