Nomikiana is a small traditional village on the south coast of Crete, a few miles east of Frangokastelo. Underneath Nomikiana you can find the pebble beach of Koutelos. You pass this village when you travel on the road from Frangolastelo to Plakias. It is very quiet in the village. The population lives largely of olive cultivation and sheep herding and so there are many sheep around.
