Vistagi is a mountain village (alt 500m) at the eastern side of the Amari valley 39 km far away from Rethymno City. In the past known as Pistagi or Bistagi or Bistaghi . It is mentioned in a document from 1577. Vistagi, one of the most beautiful villages on the island, built on a mountain and spread along the two sides of the road. The village is not on the classic tourist routes, so it has very few tourists and no infrastructure to accommodate them.
It is large and peaceful and very pleasing to walk through. Most of its houses have been whitewashed but some are painted in earth colours and especially ochre. The Amari valley and the snow-capped Psiloritis peaks all around complete the scenery that you can enjoy from here.
The Assomaton Monastery is 35km southeast of Rethimnon on the Rethimnon - Amari Valley road. Leaving the village of Thronos we continue in the direction of the small village and Monastery of Asomaton. During the Byzantine period a magnificent monastery existed in this village, which flourished during the 17th century and was turned into a school of agriculture in 1930.
West of the Monastery of Asomatos the Church of Aghia Paraskevi, a cruciform church with a cupola, is situated, which was probably built during the 13th century and restored during either the 15th or the 16th century. At the north wall of the church a tomb with a vaulted apse can be found, in the interior of which two figures with raised hands are depicted. According to the inscription they represent the brothers Theodoros and Georgios Hortatzis.
