Gortyn Municipality, Administrative division in Heraklion, Greece.
The Municipality of Gortys stretches across multiple communities within the Heraklion Regional Unit, forming part of the broader administrative structure of Crete.
The area underwent significant administrative changes during the 2011 Kallikratis reform, which reorganized Greece's local government system and established new municipal boundaries.
Municipal governance in Gortys follows Greek traditions with regular elections every four years, allowing residents to participate in local decision-making processes.
The municipality manages local services, infrastructure development, and community programs through a system of elected officials and administrative staff.
The municipal structure incorporates multiple smaller communities while maintaining direct connections to regional authorities in the Heraklion administrative framework.
