Location:
Melidoni is a small traditional settlement in an altitude of 410m
enjoying open panoramic views of the Cretan Sea and the peaks of the
White Mountains. The village is surrounded by rich vegetation, and the
original Cretan Life is still present. In the small tavern/kafenio one
can have a chat with the locals and daily shopping can be done in the
villages of Vamos or Vrysses an approx. 10km drive away.
Apokoronas is a region of north-west Crete, in Chania Prefecture, to the
east of Chania itself. The Apokoronas extends from the foothills of the
White Mountains north to the coast, in a wide plain with rolling hills.
To the east, Cape Drapanon rises above the plain and extends out into
the Sea of Crete. The area is very green and fertile, unusual for rocky
Crete.
The Kiliaris River, known in antiquity as 'Pyknos', runs through the
region. Robert Pashley suggested that the name 'Apokoronas' came from
the ancient city of Ippokoronas or Ippokoronion, also cited by Strabo.
This city may have been located near modern Nippos, or on the site of
the Venetian fortress, Castel Apicorono, on an outcrop between Kalives
and Almirida.
The major towns of Apokoronas are Vamos, Armeni and Vrisses, with
police, municipal and utility offices as well as taverns and large
churches; Kalives, Almirida and Georgioupolis are the largest beach
resorts. Tourism and agriculture are the major local industries, with
much construction and quarrying to satisfy the demands of many
foreigners eager to buy or rent properties in what used to be beautiful
and traditional villages. Apokoronas was also the location of much of
the filming of the movie “Zorba, the Greek.”
The previous municipality of Fres is found in mountainous Apokoronas in a
distance of 30km from the city of Chania and included the municipal
apartments of Fres, Paidochorio, Melidonio, Pemonion and Tzitzifes. Main
activities of the area are agriculture and cattle-breeding. Main
characteristic of the municipality Fres is its green plains and its
crystal clear water.
It is worth to visit Paidochori and Nerochori, two villages that combine
natural beauty with traditional style. In Tzitzifes you can see the
spring as well as the refreshment stand surrounded by pines and
sycamores. In Pemonia you can freshen up in the Korita spring.
Particularly beautiful is the river in the municipality of Fres which
combined with the abundant vegetation and the refreshment stand located
there, can offer moments of relaxation and pleasure. In the area Loutro
is located the church of the Two Rocks while in the area Koukos the
church of Evaggelistria towers above. The Byzantine church of Agion
Panton in Fres and the church of Agios Georgios with its old murals are
equally interesting.
In Melidoni you can visit the monument of leader Manousakas. Remarkable
is the effort of the "New Citizens of Mountainous Apokoronas", who
operate the weaving workshop "O Gaitanis".
