Maza (Greek: Μάζα) is a small village in the municipality of Apokoronas of the Chania regional unit on the island of Crete, Greece.

[1] The village is perched on a mountain slope some 150 m above the valley of the Boutakas (Μπούτακας) river, 1.7 km to the south of the Chania-Rethymno road.

[2] In the central square of the village stands a church dedicated to St Nicholas, of unclear medieval date, with an interior painted in 1325/6 by Ioannis Pagomenos.

Colourful glazed open-form ceramics used in this manner are known as bacini and in the Aegean generally date to the period of the Frankish rule.

[4] The dedicatory inscription painted inside on the western wall identifies the artist, the date of the fresco cycle, and its sponsors.
