Spotlight: Servili Tilissou
Tylissos situated on the Northeastern mountainsides of Psiloritis, at a distance of 13 kilometres Southwestern to Heraklion, Tylissos is a big village, inland, but close enough to the sea, with more than 1.000 permanent residents. It still holds the name it had since the Minoan period, when it was a flourishing independed city, an ally of the powerful city of Knossos.

 Georgioupoli is built at the "Almiro Pass" on the ancient road between east and west Crete; the bridge of "Elleniki Kamara" still survives. Georgioupoli was built on the site of the ancient city of Amphimala and close to Crete's unique lake, Limni Kourna. The village has spread out considerably in recent years along the clean extended beach that stretches for some 9 kilometres in the direction of Rethymnon. The area has been declared a nature reserve and has a rich flora and fauna.
One can visit evergreen Vryses, the villages of Maza and Alikampos with their Byzantine churches, and Kalamitsia and other places.
In the coastal district of Kourna Kavros a lively tourist industry has lately grown up on the endless beach, where every facility can be found.
The main village of Kournas is old and has interesting architecture, with the important Byzantine church of Agios Georgios, and also Agia Eirini. Interesting visits can be made to the local traditional villages of Kastelos, Patima, Phylaki, etc. |
