Hamezi is a village of the district of Sitia and lies at a 10km distance from Sitia city on the axis of the traditional street of Sitia-Iraklio. It's built on the hills of the small mountain range of "Tripokefala" which lie at 400m altitude. When you're here your eye sight the horizon which lies extensively enough from the other side mountains to the Karpathian high sea. Every morning, through the morning clean atmosphere you can see Kasos and Karpathos like two pieces which were seperated from cape "Sideros" and were thrown away from the high sea.

From Sitia, it's easy to see Hamezi which is like a large drawing board having all these absolutely white small houses drowned inside the green background that the olive trees create behind it. The traditions, its history and the resident's hospitality make it very special, and it's one ot the few villages which show such samples of civilization.

Hamezi became mostly famous from the great archaeological discoveries, which were found in its area. On its hill, which is opposite the village known as "Souvloto Mouri"(Pointed face) lies the unique elliptic house of the Minoan time (MMI) which is considered to be from the archaeologists one of the most important remnants of the Minoan civilization.
