The town of Timbaki, seat of the municipality, is located in the west edge of the valley of Messara, 65,3km away from Iraklion. The name of the town is derived from the word "timvos" that means tomb. Timbaki is a busy and rich town where early garden produces, citrus fruit and olives are cultivated.
The excellent weather of the area has favoured the cultivation of horticultural plants. The town provides a full range of modern facilities; banks, post office, doctors office, stores, schools, hotels, restaurants etc. to cover the needs both of the locals as well as of the hundreds of the visitors.
The church of Agios Titos, an imposing wonderful church, is built next to the older temple of Agios Titos. Every year, on the 25th of August, a great feast is organized to honor the saint.
Timbaki municipality covers all the county of Pirgiotissa. It is surrounded by the municipalities: to the north, Lambis (Rethymnon prefecture); to the east, Zaros; Mires to the south east and to the west has the Messara Bay.
This municipality includes 11 of the former communities: Timbaki, Vori, Grigoria, Kamares, Kamilari, Klima, Lagolio, Magarikari, Pitsidia, Sivas and Faneromeni.
The municipality covers a surface of about 15.700 ha., 10.000 of them being cultivated; it has over 11.000 inhabitants. The main sources of production is agriculture (olive trees, vineyards and horticultural plants) and of course tourism.
Visit to the area is a must for those who want to get to know Crete. Gorgeous beaches, archaic atmosphere, magnificent countryside, wonderful people... You will enjoy sunny days, romantic evenings and an interesting nighlife. You will have the chance to visit some of the most impressing Archaeological sites of Crete

Kalamaki Beach is located on the southern side of Crete, very close to Matala and Agia Galini and few hundreds meters north from Kommos or Commos Beach. It is know for its extremely long beach of 2 kilometres as well as its protected areas for the Kareta Kareta turtles.
The islands Paksimadia and Gavdos can be seen in the horizon. The uninhabited Paksimadia (or Paximadia) is around 10 kilometres away from the shore and owe their name to the dryness that dominates on the island.
The inhabited island of Gavdos is the southernmost point of Europe, and is about 17 kilometres away from the shore and is visible when the weather is clear.
For those who love to walk, the neighbouring beach of Kommo offers the perfect setting with the waves ending right at your feet. The ancient port of the Minoan era brings the visitor closer to the history and culture of the Cretan civilisation.During the summer months, the area bursts with life due to its constantly growing tourist population, which it has been enjoyng over the last years. This is no surprise considering its crystal clear beach and breathtaking sunset. There is an abundance of taverns and bars in which you can enjoy a drink and delicious traditional dishes with fresh seadfood.The village of Kalamaki is 60 km far from Heraklion City and 72 from Rethimno. Close to Kalamaki are located the traditional villages Sivas, Kamilari, Pitsidia, Petrokefali and many more.12 kilometres further inland is Mires, a town with many shops, services, such as a post office, banks, a hospital, pharmacies, large supermarkets for economic purchases including LIDL and Marinopoulos-Carrefour. Mires is also known for its well-known Pazari (flee market) every Saturday. It is the largest one in Southern Crete, where you can find anything from women’s and men’s undergarments and children’s games to vegetables, fruit, kitchenware, carpets and delicatessen’s such as feta cheese and honey. Something similar but on a smaller scale is held every Friday in Timbaki, a nearby village, west of Mires.
