Municipality of Gortyn

Gortyn municipality has 1,282 active businesses.

This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΟ Δήμος Γόρτυνας είναι τόπος αγροτικής παραγωγής και βιομηχανίας, με ελαιοτριβεία, καλλιέργειες, κτηνοτροφία, φωτοβολταϊκά και παραγωγή τροφίμων πιο έντονα από ό,τι στην υπόλοιπη χώρα, ενώ ρούχα, εστιατόρια και φαρμακεία είναι πιο λιγοστά. Με 90,5 επιχειρήσεις ανά χίλιους κατοίκους, κάτω από τον μέσο όρο της Κρήτης, ξεχωρίζει η ζωντάνια στα αθλητικά είδη, αξίζει όμως προσοχή η πολύ υψηλή σεισμική επικινδυνότητα.
