Kare
Kare lies at the banks of Vrisina Mountain, 16 klm away from Rethymno at an altitude of 460 m with 79 residents. Kare is mentioned in a 1381 document of Doukikos archive in Chandakas. It is also mentioned at the censuses of the 16th and 17th century under the Venetian invasion. The name "Kare" was established due to the existence of a large walnut tree (karidia) at the entrance of the village. At the centre of the village, there is the Renaissance style church of Protomartiras Stefanos.
