Nikiforos Fokas ( Greek Νικηφόρος Φωκάς ( m. Sg. )) Is a municipality in the Cretan city of Rethymno . It was formed in 1997 from the amalgamation of 14 communities around the small town of Atsipopoulo as an independent community and named after the Byzantine emperor Nikephoros II , who conquered Crete from the Arabs in the 10th century. In the course of the Greek administrative reform in 2010 , Nikiforos Fokas was absorbed into the municipality of Rethymno and received the status of a municipality.
