Fournofarago
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fournofarago is a small village located in southern Crete. Located in the Municipality of Kofina, it is about 7 miles (11km) from Assimi, it has been in existence since at least 1842.
The first families arrived to the village from an old village named Katalimata. That old village is no longer standing, yet some ruins can be found in the mountain near Fournofarago.
The village is known for its celebratory feast of Aghios Georgios help annually on April 23 and a chapel fountain with reported healing powers. Many people journey to the fountain in order to return to their homes with the clear-tasting water. The chapel itself grants a good view of the whole region.
