Agioi Deka

On the Messara Plain, next to ancient Gortyna, the village of Agioi Deka takes its name from the ten Cretan martyrs who were martyred here in 250 AD, during the Roman Empire.

The village is home to the Byzantine church of Agioi Deka and the site of their martyrdom, both important places of pilgrimage. Many ancient artefacts from Gortyna are incorporated into the village’s houses — a living link to the past.

Tip: This makes for an ideal combination with a visit to Gortyna.
