About the name of the village

According to tradition, the coma, but indirectly the former Municipality of Nikiforos Fokas and now the Municipal Unit of Nikiforos Fokas, owe their name to the following incident: when Nikiforos Fokas campaigned in Crete in March 961 AD, in order to to liberate it from the Arab Saracens, he encamped one night on the above hill, which he had previously liberated together with the adjacent hill "Dambies", after a battle. When dawn broke, someone asked him, "How did you spend your night?" He replied, "Good night!" Thus, the village was named "Kalonyktis" and the hill and the location, where the Byzantine general and later emperor encamped, was named "Nikiforos". Nikiforos Fokas is considered the founder of the village and there is a road in the village in his honor. However, there is also the opinion that the village pre-existed and was called Leventochori.

Venetian Mansion "Tower of Syggelo" in Kato Malaki
"We are announcing the building complex of the Venetian Rural Village, known as the" Tower of Singelo "in Kato Mallaki, Rethymnon province as a historic monument. This is an important example of Venetian architecture of the late Venetian occupation (17th century) and specifically of a rural feudal mansion. It consists of a three-storey tower with a rectangular floor plan and a two-storey building, on the ground floor of which an old type olive mill is preserved. In its immediate vicinity, there is a carved press of the same period. " ΥΑ ΥΠΠΟ / ΑΡΧ / Β1 / Φ38 / ΚΗΡ / 32617/905 / 17-7-1997 - ΦΕΚ 711 / Β / 19-8-1997
