This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΟ Δήμος Αμαρίου στην Κρήτη έχει έντονα αγροτικό χαρακτήρα, με την κτηνοτροφία και τις καλλιέργειες να ξεχωρίζουν, ενώ οι επιχειρήσεις είναι αραιές, μόλις 38,1 ανά χίλιους κατοίκους, και σπανίζουν τα καφέ, τα εστιατόρια και τα κομμωτήρια. Αξίζει μια πιο προσεκτική ματιά στις κατασκευαστικές εταιρείες, τον πιο ζωντανό κλάδο, σε μια περιοχή με πολύ υψηλή σεισμική επικινδυνότητα.
