Mixorouma
The village of Mixorouma belongs to the Municipality of Lampis. It has 394 residents and lies on a 300 m altitude. It is 26.5 km far from Rethymno, on the 26th km of the road to Spili. It is referred to with the name Mixorouma in all Venetian censuses. In 1881, it is referred to with the name Mixorouma in the Municipality of Lampis with 126 residents. In 1900, it is mentioned again in the same municipality as Mixorouma with 146 residents. In 1940 it is mentioned for the first time incorrectly as Mixorouma, a name retained up to this day. The correct name is Mixorouma (mix+stream), a name given to this village due to its position at the confluence of two streams. Nowadays, it is worth for visitors to visit old Mixorouma, a wonderful dorp with stone-built houses, submersed in the green landscape.
