Temenia is the site of ancient Yrtakina, an important city of western Crete. It is located on the top of a hill beside Temenia. It had very strong fortifications, some of which are still visible. A statue of the god Pan was found here. The remainders of the city are on the top of a hill called Kastri, which is between Temenia and Papadiana; and it can be seen from Temenia.
