This small village in the municipality of Kastelli has 320 inhabitants. It lies in the west foothills of the Dikti mountain (Lassithi Mountains), and it is located at 8.7 km to the east of Kasteli.. The village produces mainly olive oil although during the last few years there is also production of vegetables and flowers in greenhouses.

Fr. Barozzi mentions it as Ascus, in the Pediada district, in 1577.
Recently a ritual clay figurine of the Mid-Minoan period was fortuitously unearthed on a peak close to the village. The remains of a large building belonging to a peak sanctuary have been excavated at Amygdalokefalo to the NE of the village.
Among the natural beauties, of the village, the ravine at Aski is well worth seeing.

On December 4th the village has a typical Cretan feast to honour Agia Varvara. There is also a hagiography, or icon, workshop well worth visiting.
