Continue towards the village of Chamezi, built at an altitude of 380 m. A middle Minoan building complex was discovered here, which is impressive because of the round shape of the wall surrounding ten rectangular houses looking onto a common internal courtyard. Many copper domestic objects were found in the rooms (axes, hoes, chisel, etc.) and figurines from that period, as well as other objects that are exhibited in the archaeological museum. There is a Folk Art Museum in the village, with a reproduction of a traditional Cretan home housed in a medieval building (Kamara). In hall A you will find popular art, and a reproduction of a home with all its household effects. In hall B you will find a loom and weaving materials.
Chamezi used to be the fief of the Kornari family, including the poet Vincenzos Kornaros. When you visit Chamezi, do not forget to ask if the "kazanemata" are being organised. The "kazanemata" are events that take place in the village and involve the distillation of raki from sultanas, which becomes a true celebration. You will be able to try 'protoraki', the first distillation, recommended only for those who can truly hold their drink...
