As the capital of the district, it is also and the most well-known town, although it developed relatively recently, since the conquerors of Crete never paid too much attention to it. Nowadays, it has become a popular tourist attraction. The landmark here is the large lake in the town center named Voulismeni Lake. The little pine grove and the tamarisk trees, overlooking the lake, offer a panoramic view of the city and the opportunity for a nice walk during your stay. You can explore the cobbled-stone streets with the small taverns, as well as the numerous steps you will find in your way, as the city is built on a hilly terrain.
