Vamos, Apokoronas – Model of agrotourism: Vamos is a special case: a village with neoclassical color, with unexpectedly many mansions, with countless flowering courtyards, with dozens – without exaggeration – guesthouses that could accommodate two and three times the local population itself.

Aradaina, Sfakia – Other memories: Whatever stone you raise in the villages of Sfakia has to tell you stories of struggles and battles. So with Aradaina, even though its inhabitants were always few: so many battles took place in its gorge, two steps from the village. Today the village is deserted, the result of a bloody feud that began in 1948, although some occasionally return and somehow maintain their homes.

Theriso, Chania – Bastion of struggles: Theriso has gone to history for the timeless struggles of the rebel Cretans against every conqueror. A tragic example in 1905, when militants led by Eleftherios Venizelos placed their headquarters here declaring an armed struggle against George II at the request of the Union.
