Archaeological Sites
Important archaeological monuments and sites, Neolithic, Minoan, as well as of subsequent eras, take us back on a long journey through the history of the area, down the centuries. At many sites, ongoing archaeological research still brings to light impressive new finds. One can visit the citadel of Smari, the Minoan palace of Galatas, the ancient city of Lyttos, ancient Peratostrata in the plain, ancient Inatos, and the mysterious cave of the ancient Greek goddess of childbirth, Inatia Eileithyia, at Tsoutsouros.
