The seat of the municipality is the village Agia Foteini.[2] The municipal unit has an area of 277.285 km2 (107.060 sq mi).[3] One of the major geographic features of Amari is the Amari Valley, a landform of high elevation known for olive cultivation.[4] It is thought that Monastiraki was developed by Phaistos inhabitants founding a satellite center as they pushed out into the Amari Valley.[5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
