Kaloniktis is an unspoilt village with narrow lanes, depending mainly on farming and lies at a distance of ca. 15 km from Rethymnon.

In the village there are examples of traditional architecture and Venetian buildings including a mill.

 
The parish church of Byzantine origin is dedicated to the birth of the Virgin, the feast of which is celebrated on September 8th.

The surrounding villages are all of historical significance, e.g. Roustika, where all the houses have arched entrances. Not to be forgotten is a visit to the Profitis Ilias Monastery and the Panagia Church with its wonderful frescoes. Also a short distance away is the village of Argyroupolis, with its water springs and excavations of the ancient Lappa. The whole area is ideal for walking tours.
