Αnogia is situated on the northern slopes of mount Ihda (also called Psiloritis, which, with a height of 2456 m, is the tallest mountain on Crete), at an altitude of about 740 m. It is located at a distance of 35 km (a 50 minute drive) from Iraklio, the largest city on Crete, and 56 km from Rethymno.
	Despite its seclusion, a factor contributing ideally to communication and collaboration among participants beyond scheduled lectures, Anogia is easily accessible from the island's main entry-points. The main occupation of its 2300 inhabitants is sheep breeding.

Visitors are fascinated by the traditional ambiance of the village, the captivating hospitality of its inhabitants, the ideal climatic conditions and the opportunity for excursions with naturalist, archaeological and cultural interest.
