Neo Chorio is a village located 25km (15.5 miles) southeast of Chania in the center of Apokoronas.

According to tradition, the small town was originally settled in the Late Minoan era, on a site located in the northernmost part of the village where it still stands today.

Later, when the village was destroyed, the inhabitants moved south and people collected water from the Koliakoude river.

The Agios Gerasimos is a graphic little church which was built on a rock at the edge of the village going towards to Bryses.

During the Turkish domination, priests and nuns took on the role of teachers and secretly taught the Greek language to the children of the village.
