The small village of Nipos is situated in the Apokoronas area, southeast of the city of Chania and 1 kilometer west of the larger village of Vrisses, where you find many shops, restaurants and facilities. In Nipos there are a few churches, one of which is quite large (with a dome and two towers), a war monument (including the bust of a resistance fighter from World War II) at a square where everyone parks his car and there is a fairly popular tavern.
