• Archaeological Site of Phaistos was one of the most important centres of Minoan civilization, and the most wealthy and powerful city in southern Crete. It was inhabited from the Neolithic period until the foundation and development of the Minoan palaces in the 15th century B.C.
• It does not get quite so crowded as Knossos and even in the summer it is possible to have the site almost to oneself.
• Finishing the trip, you will have the opportunity to swim in the crystal clear waters of the Libyan Sea and dine in one of the traditional taverns located along the coast of Matala among the many souvenir shops.
