Vrachasi (Greek: Βραχάσι) is a village and a former municipality in the Lasithi peripheral unit, Crete, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Agios Nikolaos, of which it is a municipal unit.[1] Vrachasi is a village of a few hundred people and typical of many around, but it has some interesting features and the traditional Cretan architecture is well preserved here. The main square of Vrahassi sits close to the road and has an excellent view into the valley.
Vrachasi's fiercely independent streak mirrors that of nearby Sissi and Milatos and can be seen by the many hand painted declarations of 'Demos Vrachasiou' around the area.
