Agios Konstantinos

This village in the Municipality of Nikiforos Fokas lies 16km from Rethymnon, to the left of the old road to Chania via Atsipopoulo and Gonia.

The village's name is taken from the local church. Agios Konstantinos lies on a rugged outcrop. According to a Rethymnon archaeologist, the tiled village square lies over the ruins of a mint.


Under Venetian rule it was a fief of the Barozzi family - to this day the village retains the overall appearance of that time. Several fine houses were built during the period when Agios Konstantinos was a summer retreat for the Venetian nobles of Rethymnon. The drinking fountain erected by the Barozzi family can still be seen one mile to the east of the village. The municipal ward of Agios Konstantinos includes the Venetian settlement of Agios Georgios, lying at an altitude of 390m.
