Exo Apidi
The Community of Apidia is in the Municipality of Lefki, driving past the village of Handras, 32 km from the town of Sitia and 6 km before Ziros village. Beautiful historical area and villages hidden between hills on Ziros plateau! The Community mainly includes two settlements, the Mesa Apidia settlement and the Ekso Apidia settlement. The Community of Apidia includes the settlements of Kalos Lakos, Drogari, Goudouras, Tsipa and Monastra most of them abandoned. In the village of Dragari it is possible to see some outstanding old architecture, a combination of Byzantine, Venetian, Turkish and local elements. There are also two big vaulted Minoan tombs to be found in the area of Exo Apidi.

Canyons in the region of Goudouras.
They are short in length (about 1,5 kilometres) but they are the roughest in the region and the potential hiker needs to be very careful, skillful and experienced and in many cases well-equipped.
However, their cavernous, vertical rocks create perfect sanctuaries for the avifauna and rare endemic plants are found on these steep rocks of the canyons as well. These canyons are: The Canyon of Saint Antonis, which was named after the small church that is built in the north entrance of the canyon, which ends at Goudouras village.
There is also the canyon that begins from the village Mesa Apidi and at a particular point of its route meets a second bifurcation at the abandoned settlement called Samakidi and ends in the north of Goudouras and lastly there is the canyon of Asprolithos, which is a small, rough canyon ending up in the northwest of the village Goudouras.
