Located in the prefecture of Rethymnon, the village built a church dedicated to Archangel Michael in 1600. At the its peak the villages had some 13 families and 50 inhabitants.

Now, thanks to the architect Myron Toupogiannis and his team the worn down village got a facelift and a new life – as a hotel – the Kapsaliana Village Hotel, to be exact!
