The village of Gergeri is 40km southwest of Iraklion on the Iraklion - Agia Varvara - Gergeri road. There are three interesting Byzantine churches in the area.
This is the first village, 10km after Agia Varvara to the west. There are natural springs, and from one of the large springs water was channelled to Gortyn through an aqueduct which is still visible near the Acropolis of Gortyn. There is also a lush forest near the village and Byzantine churches.

My father Elias Doulgerakis was born and raised in the village of Gergeri. I am now 20 years old and have only been to my father´s village twice in my life....when I was there I felt a sense of belonging although it was all foreign to me. It was actually magical and beautiful at the same time. I hope to go back one day soon with my Dad and family again to embrace our heritage and learn more about our family orgins.
