The settlement is reported, during Venetian rule, by Barozzi, Kastrofilaka and Basilicata. It is one of few villages in Crete, where there is an increase of population happening during the last few years.
It is one of the more important livestock farming villages of Milopotamos, with 28.000 to 30.000 sheep and goats. It also produces raisins. Finally, the last few years it has seen an impressive growth in the craft of weaving.
The villagers have participated in the Revolution of 1866. Here, the General Assembly of Cretans (September 1868) signed a resolution, addressed to the Great Powers, informing them about the situation inCrete.

Diskouri Monastery is near Axos, Milopotamos, between the villages Livadia and Veni by Rethimno prefecture.
The monastery of Diskouri was deserted and in ruins until recently. Despite the thoughtless interventions that happened in the past, the visitor can still see original features of architecture; in the centre of the courtyard is found the small church of Saint George while graves of bishops can be seen around the church.
In the interior of the church the historical and, as the locals will tell you, miracle -working icon of Aghios Georgios is kept. It is still a custom to ask for help or the solution of various issues in front of this icon with a pledge to Zeus, also known as "NiZa".
Its buildings were destroyed during the Turkish invasion (1646), but it was rebuilt soon after and reached its peak during the Ottoman rule. During that period it acquired an important fortune and possessed many important handwritten books in its library.
Many of its buildings were damaged during the Cretan uprisings of 1821 and 1866 and from the earthquake of 1856. During the Cretan revolt of 1866, the monastery was revolutionary centre and seat of the revolutionary committee. The Monastery is operating today.
