At an altitude of 330m above sea level, just out of Kastelli village (1.5 km) to the east, lies the village of Archangelos with 326 residents. The village is rich in the production of olive oil, grapes, raisins, wine, and raki (the local spirit made from grape husks).
The village was originally named ‘Varvaro’, meaning barbarians and owed its name to the installation of the military forces of Nikiforos Fokas in 961. It was known with that name until 1920 when it was renamed after the main village church standing in the village’s main square, which is dedicated to the Archangel Michael.
There is another smaller and older church, that of the Panaghia, with Byzantine wall paintings. In a location known as Trochalos, archaeological finds have brought to light a series of Minoan tools dating back to the first and second Late Minoan periods. Remains of ancient mills can still be seen in the area.
The feast of Michail Archangelos on November 8th is celebrated with much feasting in the village.

This is the building where electrical energy was produced for the military airport in Kastelli and for the electrified wires that surrounded it. The building continued to operate even after the withdrawal of the German occupation forces in order to meet the residents’ needs for electricity. Nowadays, you can still see the building, although it does not have the same function. It reminds us of the period of the German occupation and the numerous soldiers’ activities, who used to stay in the area due to its military importance.
