Maza is a small village in the foothills of the White Mountains, in North Western Crete, surrounded by lush fertile valleys and with wonderful views, located half way between Chania and Rethymnon, in the Apokoronas region.
The area features numerous interesting sights, such as Lake Kournas, the island’s only freshwater lake and the archaeological site of Aptera with its superb views of Souda Bay.
The village Maza is perched on a mountain slope some 150 m above the valley of the Boutakas river, 1.7 km to the south of the Chania-Rethymno road.
