Before Etia, on the left side (south) of the road, there is another Venetian villa as well as the remains of a whole village. The Mezzo Villa itself very interesting and is being renovated. The fifteenth century villa is considered to be one of the most important Venetian villas in Crete.
The Mezzo family was a very important Venetian family from Sitia and having been given the area as a fiefdom they built the famous three-story villa. The Turks lived in the villa when they occupied the area but during the revolution of 1867 the Cretans destroyed it.
