Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Kantanos-Selino, of which it is a municipal unit.[2] It is situated on the south-west coast of the island of Crete. It was part of the former Selino Province which covered the mountain and coastal region west of Sfakia. The seat of the municipality was Kampanos.
