The Project is situated only 50m from the actual village of Episkopi with its traditional kafenions, quaint tavernas and typical Cretan cafeterias. Several amenities can be found in the village including shops, a pharmacy, a medical center, petrol station, post office, bank, institute for foreign languages and super market making Episkopi an ideal, autonomous village to live in. The climate in the area is one of the best in Crete. The village is built 120 m above sea level overlooking the northern coast of Crete, the lush green valley of Mousselas River and the White Mountains. A beautiful golden sand beach, probably the best in the prefecture, stretches for many kilometers and is only 2,3 km away from the village.

The name Episkopi means bishopric or diocese and is common to many villages in Crete that housed at one time the bishop’s offices. The religious past of the area is obvious to visitors as there are many old churches, some of them with remarkable frescoes. The village, also known as "Megali Episkopi" during the Middle Ages acquired the name "Kalamon". After the tribulations during the Arabic times, the need for education and culture grew rapidly and carried through during the Venetian and Turkish occupations. The village is fairly old; it exists from the second Byzantine period i.e. 961 a.d. and is mentioned at the archives having 446 inhabitants before 1583. Now they are 900 and their main occupation, as back then, agriculture, producing mainly olive oil. Due to its geographical location, between Apokoronas and Rethymno, it used to be in the past and especially during the Turkish occupation, the theater of numerous battles.
