Zakros Minoan Palace
The Minoan Palace of Zakros is located 45 km to the south east of Sitia town. Excavations show that the floor plan of this palace was similar to other Minoan palaces in Crete and that it was first built during the 19th century BC but it was later modified, in around 1600 BC. The palace had a central courtyard surrounded by a cluster of buildings with labyrinthine corridors and many rooms. The findings in the area include pieces of cisterns, jewelry, parts of sanctuaries, tools and signs with ancient writing of Linear A style.
