Agios Georgios, Lasithi

Agios Georgios is a village in the Lasithi Plateau[2][3] in the island of Crete, and also a municipal unit.

Agios Georgios lies at an altitude of 840 metres (2,760 ft).

It is a starting point for an ascent of the Dikti (height 2,148 metres (7,047 ft)),[8] and the E4 trail goes through the village.

[9] Many people with ancestry from the village of Agios Georgios live now in Heraklion and in Hersonissos.

[10] In wintertime, when the Lasithi Plateau is snow-covered, many of the villagers in Agios Georgios would have descended to occupy the settlement of Analipsi on the northern coast of Crete, 5 km west of Hersonisssos and part of the Hersonissos Municipality where they cultivated olives.
