Gerakari

Gerakari is approximately 40 km far from Rethymno and it is built on a 680 m altitude. In the 1991 census, the village had 377 residents. It belongs to the Municipality of Sivritos, at the northern foot of Mountain Kedros. Archaeological findings in the village at "Psares" and "Palioglises" sites and in the wider area of Gerakari (Elenes-Mesonisia), such as chips of vessels used for religious purposes, imperfect ceramic statuettes of various shapes and forms (humans and animals), double axes, shells, Roman remnants etc, prove the existence of ancient dorps (Elenes-Mesonisia-Gerakari).
