Amiras is a historic settlement in the Heraklion prefecture, built on the southern slopes of Mount Dikti, in a location offering impressive views of the Libyan Sea.

The village is situated on the provincial road connecting Viannos with Arvi and is surrounded by other picturesque settlements, such as Vahos to the west, Krevvatas to the east, and Kefalovrisi to the northeast.

The most noteworthy feature of Amiras is its heavy historical heritage, as the wider region was the scene of dramatic events during the German Occupation. Within and around the settlement, there are important religious monuments, such as the churches of Agios Vasileios and Agios Dimitrios, which serve as spiritual reference points for the local community. Furthermore, its geographical position is characterized by the "Seli" point, a key road pass offering panoramic visibility across the entire area.

A tour of Amiras reveals an authentic Cretan landscape where mountainous nature meets historical memory. To the south of the settlement, in a privileged position, there is a Viewpoint of the sea that allows visitors to enjoy the vastness of the Cretan south. Its strategic location and the intense relief of the region make Amiras a place of unique character, ideal for those seeking contact with history and the natural environment of Crete.
