The village of Pigi belongs to the prefecture of Rethymno and is about 10 kilometers from the city of the same name, and in the direction of Loutra. Pigi borrowed its name because of the fountain that exists next to the river Pigianos or Pigio, which has now dried up.
It has been mentioned as an official settlement since the Venetian censuses of the 16th and 17th centuries, while it was the village of Kefalochori, and a reference center for the surrounding villages and settlements in the difficult post-war decades of the 50s and 60s. Further north, there is Pigianos Kampos, which is a new settlement of Pigi.
