The village of Vlatos was at peak of its power around the Venetian occupation and from the presence of the Holy Spirit and St. John churches one assumes that the village also existed at the end Byzantine period as well.

The village used to be private property of the famous De Minotto family, a venetian family, where they built their three-storeyed house, the Arhontika Houses, which used to host Turkish officers as well during the Turkish occupation and can be seen nowadays. This Arhontika House is considered to be one of the samples of the Venetian architecture in Crete.

There are some very nice trekking paths around and in the forest of "Peace" which has been characterized as a natural park.Near by is the "Park of Peace" that was founded in 1970 by the Cultural Association of Vlatos with the cooparation of Goethe Institute and the support of the Bavarian Department of Forests.
