The seat of the Muinicipality of Krokees is at Krokees and has a population of 2835. Archaeological findings indicate that the region has been polupated since very ancient times. At Krokees there are many small byzantine churches. At Vasilakio we can still see the remains of the towers of the Bardouniotes Turks who ravaged the region during the Ottoman rule.

Krokees the birthplace of the poet N. Vrettakos had a great cultural development to show as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The economy of the region is based on farming and stock-raising. The climate and altitude of the region favour the production of olive oil. The honey that is produced is also excellent. Biological cultivation mainly of olive trees is also very common and biological stock-raising on a small scale. Near Daphni there is a winery that makes bottled wine.

The countryside of the Municipality is ideal for walks, epecially in the spring, on the sweet-smelling hills around the villages of Daphni, Vasilakio, Krokees and Lagio, with a magnificent view towards Mt. Taygetos. In the summer it is worth visitng the little hamlet of Koumani at Vasilakio, with its lovely taverns under the cool, ancient plane trees. The long beach at Valtaki, breeding place of sea-turtles, also belongs to the Municipality of Krokees, as do the tiny bays with crystal clear water at Trinisa.
