Stavrakia

Built around olive groves and cultivated fields, Stavrakia grew into a small inland community in Crete’s Heraklion hinterland. The village lies east of the Psiloritis massif, where central Crete’s rolling agricultural terrain rises away from the island’s north coast. Farming remains an important part of the local setting, reflecting a tradition shared across the Heraklion countryside. Nearby Knossos, the renowned Minoan palace site, places Stavrakia within one of Greece’s most significant archaeological regions.
