Lovely pebbly cove great for snorkeling .
If you walk on down past the house at the top of the cove through the white pillar gates in the distance you reach a stone staircase in the rocks down to caves on the coastline

The archaeological site of Aptera, which was the most powerful city of western Crete during Minoan times,
The findings of the archaeological excavations that still coming to light, fill the history puzzle of this ancient city. They give details about the settlement's composition, the city's architecture, the religion and habits of Apterean residents who were keen archers.
The findings of the excavations indicate that the hill was inhabited the 8th century BC until the 7th century AD, when abandoned due to a strong earthquake and because of the attacks by the Saracen Arab pirates.
Learn the history of the most important and the most commercial ancient city- state of western Crete!!
