The village of Ziros is 30km south of Sitia on the Sitia - Piskokefalo - Epano Episkopi - Handras - Ziros road. There are a number of Byzantine churches in the area.
Agios Nikolaos, another church in the village, is full of frescoes and was one of the last churches painted in this manner. As the painting of icons became more popular, the art of fresco painting disappeared. Ziros is a very pleasant village situated among some of the richest vineyards and olives groves in Crete.
