ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES
Archaeological excavations were begun in the middle of the 19th
century. In the following years, on the whole of the island, archaeological
finds were made which originated from palace complexes, towns, graves and caves.
Valuable pottery, jewellery and gold came to light, not forgetting the
foundations of towns, which allowed the past of Crete in all its forms to be
recreated. How much more is still hidden under the earth of Crete? Take a
