Vasiliki is a nice and quiet village in the Lasithi province, just south of Pachia Amos. You can reach the village through a turn in Pachia Amos, or if you come from the south comes Ierapetra, you can take an eit on the left hand side of the road. There, a little further on the left of the road between the olive groves, are the remains of a Minoan archaeological site.
The village of Vasiliki itself however is also nice to take a look at. There is a large basin on the village square and an old church. This water basin has a large number of fish in it (koi carp, I think, I don't know much about fish). There is also a small tavern and there are water springs. The road goes up past old stone houses, bougainvillas and a few ruined houses to the big church that you have already seen from the distance.
