At the edge of the municipality, located in a semi-mountain region with plenty of sparkling waters, green scenery and remarkable landscapes for touring and resting, is the village of Deres .
Most interesting is a visit to the complex of well-preserved Venetian monastery buildings, as well as to the many chapels of the area.
Undoubtedly, the images of the Cretan hospitality of the people of Deres and their traditional celebrations will be an unforgettable experience and a warm memory.
Try to find time to... honor them with your presence at one of the four festivals that begin in July
and end in early September. Taste the local thyme honey, Gruyere cheese, light wine, fried delicacies and, of course, tsikoudia...
Here the local population, besides olive cropping, collects chestnuts, produces honey and even manufactures coal in a traditional manner. At the traditional cafeterias you will be able to buy the local products made here.
Also, a horse riding school operates in the area, with its own tavern for rest, food and horseback riding.
