About Stáviai
Stáviai is a village. Location: Gortyna, Heraklion Regional Unit. Population: 266. Elevation: 247 m.
Stavies (Greek: Στάβιες) is a small village in the southern part of Crete, Greece. This village is built at a height of 240 m above sea-level, on the south edge of the valley of Messara and is mentioned in the Archives of Chandax in 1370. It is possible that the name Stavies has its origin in the Italian name Stavia, a town destroyed in the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. After the destruction of their village, refugees could have landed in Crete and built the present village.
