Tympaki (Greek: Τυμπάκι) is a town and a former municipality in the Heraklion regional unit, Crete, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reforms it is part of the municipality of Faistos, of which it is a municipal unit,[2] the unit has an area of 157.122 km2 (60.665 sq mi).[3]
The town is located on the south coast, between Agia Galini and Matala, and has a population of about 5,500 people (10,000 for the municipal unit). In 2005, a major container harbour and free-trade zone had been rumored to be built in the area. As of January 2009, it appears the project has been canceled, in part due to the strong opposition from the local population.[4]
