The town of Timbaki, seat of the municipality, is located in the west edge of the valley of Messara, 65,3km away from Iraklion. The name of the town is derived from the word "timvos" that means tomb. Timbaki is a busy and rich town where early garden produces, citrus fruit and olives are cultivated.
The excellent weather of the area has favoured the cultivation of horticultural plants. The town provides a full range of modern facilities; banks, post office, doctors office, stores, schools, hotels, restaurants etc. to cover the needs both of the locals as well as of the hundreds of the visitors.
The church of Agios Titos, an imposing wonderful church, is built next to the older temple of Agios Titos. Every year, on the 25th of August, a great feast is organized to honor the saint.
Timbaki municipality covers all the county of Pirgiotissa. It is surrounded by the municipalities: to the north, Lambis (Rethymnon prefecture); to the east, Zaros; Mires to the south east and to the west has the Messara Bay.
This municipality includes 11 of the former communities: Timbaki, Vori, Grigoria, Kamares, Kamilari, Klima, Lagolio, Magarikari, Pitsidia, Sivas and Faneromeni.
The municipality covers a surface of about 15.700 ha., 10.000 of them being cultivated; it has over 11.000 inhabitants. The main sources of production is agriculture (olive trees, vineyards and horticultural plants) and of course tourism.
Visit to the area is a must for those who want to get to know Crete. Gorgeous beaches, archaic atmosphere, magnificent countryside, wonderful people... You will enjoy sunny days, romantic evenings and an interesting nighlife. You will have the chance to visit some of the most impressing Archaeological sites of Crete

This small agricultural village is quite rustic, but absolutely charming in Heraklion Prefecture, between the Messara plain and Amari Valley. There is a mixture of the modern and times gone by all living happily side by side. Several foreigners have made this their home find the locals very friendly and caring.
There is a tavern which operates in the evening and basic essential are available. However the larget market town of Timbaki is only 3 kilometres down the hillside and all services are available there. There are some beautiful old buildings some still waiting for restoration and there are two village squares and several times a year, celebrations are held and very well supported by the locals.
