Irini, 25 km west of Heraklion City and only 4km from the historic village of Krousonas. Behind them stands the impressive mount Gournos which is a protected Natura area due to its wide variety of plants and animals but mainly because the few remaining pairs of Gypaetus Barbatus build their nests there.
