The seat of the municipality is the village Agia Foteini.[2] The municipal unit has an area of 277.285 km2 (107.060 sq mi).[3] One of the major geographic features of Amari is the Amari Valley, a landform of high elevation known for olive cultivation.[4] It is thought that Monastiraki was developed by Phaistos inhabitants founding a satellite center as they pushed out into the Amari Valley.[5]
