Anogia

Anogia is a municipality located in the northeast of the Psiloritis massif in the Rethymno regional unit on the Greek Mediterranean island of Crete, one of Greece’s 13 regions.

The present-day municipality of Anogia is one of the few Greek municipalities that remained unchanged under the 2010 Kallikratis reform. In 2006, the villages of Axos and Zoniana, which had been incorporated into Anogia in 1997, were separated: Axos became part of the municipality of Kouloukonas, while Zoniana became an independent rural community. In 2010, Kouloukonas and Zoniana were incorporated into the new municipality of Mylopotamos. According to the 2011 census, the municipality had a total permanent population of 2,379, with 2,319 living in Anogia itself and 60 in the hamlet of Sisarcha.
