Sites of the Heraklion Nomos
Click on the text adjacent to the picture and find out all sorts of information on that particular site within the nomos of Chania. Thanks to the Greek Ministry of Culture . SJ
Anemospelia, Archanes Certainly worth visiting in conjunction with...
Archanes ...the summer Palace of Knossos, at Phourni.
Knossos The Granddaddy of them all! Love him or hate him, Arthur Evans excavations at Knossos remain one of the world's most important archaeological digs.
Malia Yes there is an
archaeological site here as well as the tourist area and a rather splendid one too, Gill
Phaistos My favourite site in
Crete. Beautifully maintained and excavated by the Italian School of Archaeology;
imagination is everything here - compare and contrast with Knossos. Phaistos
should be viewed in tandom with the summer palace/town of (depending on who's
archaeological theory you believe) of Aghia Triada.
The world
famous "Phaestos disk" can be bought there for around 5,000 drachmes and their
are dozens to choose from, though the original (only one of those I am afraid) is situated
in the Herakleion
Archaeological Museum.
