Archaeological site of Monastiraki
The archaeological site is located near the village of Monastiraki, on a hill within the valley of Amari, at the foot of Mount Kedros. There, a Minoan settlement has been unearthed dating to 2000 BC and was destroyed in 1700 BC.
Large storage rooms, a room of worship as well as rooms containing a large number of clay seals were revealed. The pottery found in Monastiraki has similarities with that of Phaistos, which suggests possible economic and commercial relations between the two settlements.
