Tybakio Municipal Unit

Few places in southern Crete have a history as closely tied to farming on the Messara Plain as the Tybakio Municipal Unit. This fertile lowland extends between the foothills of Psiloritis and the Asterousia range, opening south towards the Libyan Sea. The municipal unit belongs to the Municipality of Phaistos, whose name recalls the nearby Minoan palace of Phaistos, one of Crete’s major Bronze Age sites. Tympaki, its main town, serves the surrounding rural communities, while the coast around Matala connects the plain with the Libyan Sea.
