On Crete there are several villages with the name of Gonies. The village of Gonies that you can see on these pictures is situated south west of the capital Heraklion on the route from Heraklion to - Gazi - Tylissos - Sklavokambos - Gonies - Anogia. It is not a very large village but it is situated in a beautiful position and looks out over a valley. The extremely large church of Agios Dimitrios which is a bit out of proportions compared to the size of the village can be seen from afar.
