Anapodaris four-arch bridge
Bridge in Demati
This Venetian monument, according to the residents of the settlement of Demati, was used for military purposes and it became a passage to the river Anapodaris, towards the Messara Area. The bridge was constructed for military use and this may explain the fact that the bridge has been still standing, serving the needs of local residents, not only pedestrians but also wheeled vehicles.

The municipal district of Demati consists of Demati village and its surrounding area.
The name of the village, according to the native schoolteacher and history lover Mr Mihalis Stylianakis, emanates from the initiative of the surrounded communities to build a kefalohori (big and powerful village) and thus was created Demati, ( from the word deno and dema, meaning tight up held togrther) from the union of smaller settlements that once surrounded that area. Another interpretation that he has provided us with is that the name Demati is a compound word made out of Des and Mati; Demati, (look and eye) as the splendid view invites us to admire its beauty with our eyes.

Leaving from Tsoutsouros and returning to Kato Kasteliana , the road leads east to Favriana. The village is built on the hill that dominates the region and provides marvellous view up to the hilltops that separate the three plains; of Messara, of Arkalochori and the Kasteli Plain.
The Anapodiaris river roars during the winter months, while in the summertime, a permanent fresh breeze protects residents and visitors from the excessive heat of the sun. The position of the village, in close proximity to ancient city Priansos, and the archaeological discoveries in the wider area, suggest a long and interesting existence.
