Μέρη κοντινά με Τούρκου Λάκος
The village of Ahentrias is in the County of Asteroussia Municipality by Monofatsi area, with a population of 367, situated on an altitude of 680 m., 12 klm. South East of Pirgos by Messara Plain. People are mainly cattle breeders aand shepherds and their products are much in demand and very famous on the island.
The Prefecture of Monofatsi is first recorded in a census by Barozzi in 1577. The most important religious feast of the village is the Transfiguration day of Christ on August 6. Also it is worthwhile visiting the Byzantine church of Saint Dimitrios.
Situated at the southern side of the Asterousia mountains with a distance of more than 85 kilometres far from Heraklion at the South - Southeast and some 20 kilometres far from Tsoutsouros and 15 km from Maridaki beach-village, Aghios Nikitas is a pebbly beach affected by the winds; what is interesting is the palm tree wood, fortunately still unknown to big crowds. Not organised at all , it does not offer any accommodation or food and drink facilities; you will love the beach only if you are fan of isolation, of natural environment and...of the palm trees.Access from Heraklion is possible only by rented or private cars and motorbikes through a not asphalted roadway from Tsoutsouros. Driving from Maridaki, you will find the beach after you have passed the Monastery of Aghios Nikitas.
Agios Nikitas, one of the many monasteries of Crete a little to the west of Maridaki. Accessible by boat from Tsoutsouros Village or by car from Ahedrias mountain Village. Located at the south side of the Asterousia Mountains, 86 km south from Heraklion City.
There is a nice beach close to the monastery and an interesting palm tree wood 1km western, fortunately still unknown to big crowds. You will love the area only if you are fan of isolation, of natural environment and...of the palm trees.

Οι φοίνικες είναι του είδους Phoenix theophrasti, όπως και στο Βάι. Πιθανότατα το φοινικόδασος δημιουργήθηκε από τους πειρατές οι οποίοι έρχονταν για να προμηθευθούν νερό από την πηγή που υπάρχει εδώ. Έτρωγαν του χουρμάδες που είχαν μαζί τους και πετούσαν τους σπόρους που δημιούργησαν το φοινικόδασος.
