Ascending from Tylisos Village towards Gonies, in a distance less than 5 minutes (2 km) and 14 km far from Heraklion City, and at a height of 240 metres we will find the village of Moni. Moni is reported in the inventory of the Guardian of Castle as Mogni with 50 residents in 1583 while in the Turkish inventory of 1881 are recorded 197 Christians and 2 Muslim residents. From Moni comes the ranger Nikolaos Kavrochorianos who fell heroically fighting in Cyprus during the episodes of 1974. Here is the country chapel of Agios Georgios and Holy Cross “Chimeftou” (Juicer), which is built in an idyllic green location and is surrounded by big heels. There is a spring with cool water which refreshes the visitors of the village. The name of the location comes from the Latin word Humektus which means a cool, wet, area or from the word Humus or humos (which means “juice”).On the east there are signs of an older sacred temple and at a distance of a hundred and fifty meters from the current temple there is a carved cell in a rock. It is a place of unbelievable natural beauty, that even the brush of the best painter could hardly ascribe it.A route of special interest is also the route from the Gorge (Kastelos) towards Koule which ends up in “Chimeftou” where there are abandoned Turkish houses. The fertile ground in combination with the soft climate gives the region the possibility of production of a wide range of agricultural products such as potatoes, garden products, raisins, grapes and olives from which they are been produced respectively wine/raki and oil of an exceptional quality. At the same time, important is the occupation of residents with the stock-farming and the production of cheese products.In the village the visitor can relax in the fountain located in the square of the village and taste the rich dishes in the traditional cafeteria – raki house which is found opposite the fountain.Points of Interest1.

In a distance of 4 kilometers from Tylisos Village and 15 km far from Heraklion City, within the beautiful olive-grooves, we will meet Kamari, an agrarian village with special beauty as its name proclaims (“kamari” means honor, pride). The settlement has maintained its traditional form. The visitor can be refreshed at the marble fountain with the Arabic inscription, from which the whole village used to be irrigated once.At a central point, there is the impressive double-decked house of “Mimikos’s brother”. It is the brother of the hero of the real romance “Mimikos and Mary”, who was a doctor in Kamari.In a small distance from the settlement we will meet the very old gentrificated Byzantine church of Virgin Mary, built during the Turkish rule in an area wooded with vineyards and in the square the Church of Agios Nikolas who is the main saint of the village.The residents are mostly occupied with agriculture and the production of olive-oil and soultanina raisins. In the cafeterias of the village we can feel the beat of the local society, since they are the only place of encounter for the residents. Next to the village streams the river Kamarianos in a place that makes a unique natural landscape.Points of Interest1.
