Anogia has particularly close ties with Psiloritis and its landscapes. The locals are mainly engaged in agriculture and are known for their hospitality. Here you will find real Cretans who still wear traditional costumes.

However, the most important moment in the village's history occurred during WWII after the kidnapping of the German general Kraipe and his transfer to Anogia. The Germans surrounded the village and massacred all the men who had not managed to escape to the Ida Mountains before destroying all 800 houses in the village.
