In the wider region of the village, archaeological artifacts from illegal excavations have been found from time to time, while newer monuments (mainly churches with frescoes dating back to the last years of the Byzantine Empire) are found both in the village and in the wider region.
Kassanoi took its name very probably from the family surname of a Jewish family, the existence of which appears in documents dating back to 1368 and 1389. These documents show that the members of this family were the first settlers of the village, as Mr. S. Spanakis suggests

Martha village is located 54 kilometers south of Heraklion, at an altitude of 390 meters at the foot of the hill Koupa Dikti. The village consists of two small villages Pera Martha or Little Martha and Pode Martha or Great Martha.
For the origin of the name of the village there are two guesses. The first states that the name comes from the nun of the monastery dedicated to Annunciation that existed in the region, while the latter states that the name comes from a ruler lady whose mansion which ruins exist today and was near the monastery.
Archaeological site of Prophet Elias
Valuable archaeological findings have been brought to light by archaeologists on the hill of Prophet Elias in Arkalohori.
After the first excavations at the Minoan cave of Prophet Elias one hundred years ago, which revealed the famous gold and bronze double axes and swords and most of the metallic archaeological findings of the Minoan Period, there has been an effort to highlight the archaeological site of the hill of Prophet Elias and particularly the eastern and southern side.
The attempt has shown that the hill had been inhabited from the Minoan era until the Ottoman period. The most striking of all is the background and the morphology of the excavation. There is a huge limestone rock that forms the bedrock of the hill of Prophet Elias. There are dozens of carved floors and walls on this rock and they can probably be hundreds of them after the completion of the excavation. These are placed from east to west.
There are also carved column bases on these floors, bases for placing cone-shaped jars and holes (possibly mortars) within the stone. Elsewhere, always carved in stone, you can see benches or basins or depressions of unknown significance. Among these floors, which are probably bases for houses or workshops, there are also carved in stone stairs or corridors. Moreover in some places drain pipes are skillfully integrated into the rock. After the excavation, the purpose and the function of these pipelines have been apparent this year with the first rains. The excavation revealed many important findings, such as coins from the Archaic period to modern times, pottery from all periods and various tools. All these will be probably presented by the archaeological services at an appropriate time in the future.
At the settlement of Karavado we find a significant number of watermills, monuments of an era, when the river Baritis that traverses the village, supplied them with water and empowered them to function. The number of watermills indicates the activity and mobility in the region and also a peak connected to the secondary sector of production. These are mainly derelict watermills, the restoration of which is the residents’ strong desire in order to highlight the history and the natural beauty of the area.
