Kato Asites of Gorgolaini Municipality is on the eastern slopes of Psiloritis Mountain on 450 meters altitude and 23 kilometers outside Heraklion, Crete. The locations Notiko and Prinos as well as Kastella near Gorgolaini monastery are of great interest as they were bases of the Greek Revolution and are some of the oldest monasteries of Crete. In this monastery you can find the tomb of Fragios Mastrachas, comrade-in arms of Kapetan Korakas who was killed in a battle in 1868. There are also three trees that have been declared preservable: a plane tree and a cypress in Gorgolaini monastery and an oak in the location where Mastrachas was killed.
The village has 9 churches, with church Agia Pariskevi being the most famous one. The story behind the church is legendary to the village. While being under Turkish occupation between 15th and 19 century, a Turk tried to sabotage a Cretan wedding. He went to the wedding and tried to shoot the bride. Unfortunately for him, the bullet ricocheted off the church wall and into his stomach, killing him.
