The village is a beautiful area located in the Apokoronas region of West Crete. It is a small, traditional Greek village situated on the rugged coast with magnificent across Souda Bay to the Akrotiri Peninsula.

To the south the White Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop. Overlooking the village is the strangely shaped Drapanokefala Mountain or Calapodha (so named during the Venetian occupation).

It is an unspoilt Cretan village with breathtaking views over the Souda Bay, the Cretan Sea and of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains), and has maintained its traditional architectural style. In the village a part of the famous movie Zorba the Greek, starring Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates, Irene Papas was filmed in 1964. Nowadays it is a perfect place to enjoy the real Cretan live; in the village are available tavern, kafenia and small shops, and the beachside resort of Almirida is just a 5min (6km) drive away.
