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.

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.
