Drapeti
This settlement is located near Garipa and just 47 kilometers from Heraklion, following the way Arkalohori – Voutoufou – Poulies – Garipa – Drapeti. It is a traditional agricultural settlement with a great production of grain during the Venetian period.
Drapeti today retains few of its traditional architectural elements, which are unfortunately preserved in ruins. Outside of the village on its west you will see the cemetery two-aisled church of St. Anne and St. Nicholas. Some valuable 15th century frescoes are saved inside this church.
