Herakleion to Áyii Déka (Aghioi Deka)

 
Iráklion via Górtys, Phaistós and Ayía Triáda to Mátala. Leave Iráklion on the road which runs west to Réthymnon, and in 2km/1.25mi take a road on the left, going south. 31km/19mi: Ayía Varvára, a large village.

Beyond this the road climbs to the Askyfou pass (700m/2,300ft) and then descends, with magnificent views, into the fertile Mesará plain, with its extensive plantations of olives, oranges, sugar-cane, bananas and other crops. 16km/10mi: Áyii Déka, with a small archeological museum (1km/.75mi southeast).
