The municipal department of Tzitzifes consists of two neighborhoods built on two parallel hills that descend from the mountains to the plain and are separated by a ravine. In the bottom of the ravine is a storied fountain with trees, under which the leaders of the Cretan Revolution met several times in 1866, 1878 and 1895-97.
The houses are built with stone on the successive levels of the two hills, creating a beautiful traditional settlement. The view to the villages of Apokoronas plain is impressive. The name of the village has been taken from the jujube tree, which grows in the region.
The historical path of the village is lost through the centuries. But one thing is certain. The area was inhabited since ancient times and retained the name for over a thousand years. In fact the first written reference comes from the liberator of Crete, Nicephorus Phocas (960 A.D), who records the name of the village as Zizifea
