You will also find the Goumenospilio which was a gathering place for hermits. If you climb the rocks you will admire the lagoon of Vourvoulitis, which communicates underground with the Mediterranean. The area is full of stone swallows, which never migrate because, according to legend, they are the souls of the hermits who once lived in the area.

Kommos beach
Kommos Beach is secluded, has clear blue waters and belongs to an archaeologically protected zone. It was a favorite destination of hippies and that is why its northern part is still a nudist beach. However, the beach also has an organized section with umbrellas, sunbeds and a beach bar. Admire the white sand lilies that bloom in the sand dunes of the area at the end of summer. In the sea, opposite the archeological site of Kommos, you will see the rock of Volakas. According to mythology, the rock was created when the angry cyclops Polyphemus threw the ship of the Argonaut Odysseus there, when he and his companions tried to run it out of his cave. When you visit Kommos beach, be careful where you step! The loggerhead turtles choose the beach to lay their eggs during the summer months.
Phaistos
Phaistos was a city of Minoan Crete and was inhabited from 6000 BC. It was the second largest center after the city of Knossos. It was founded by the brother of King Minos, who was known for his justice. For this reason, according to Greek mythology, he was appointed with the death of the guardian of the gates of the underworld, Hades. With your visit you have the opportunity to admire up close the famous album of Phaistos. The disk of Phaistos contains a text in a spiral arrangement which archaeologists have not been able to decipher until today.
Gortys
Ancient Gortyna was a city in Minoan Crete, inhabited from 7000 BC and completely destroyed by two earthquakes. Today it is an archeological site of the island. In Gortyna you will admire the temple of St. Titus, the Roman Conservatory, the large twelve-carat inscription of Gortyna, the acropolis, the praetorium, the thermal baths, the temple of Pythian Apollo and the temple of the Egyptian deities. A special impression is made by the Platanos of Gortyna, which differs from the other trees as it is evergreen. According to legend, the union of Zeus and Europe took place there, from which Minos, Radamanthis and Sarpidon, the three kings of Crete, were born.

Tripiti beach
Tripiti is a beautiful beach of Crete which combines sand and pebbles, responding to the preferences of every visitor.

Fabulous Small Family Run Hotel, Lesley S, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

This was our second visit to Hotel Minos in Agia Galini in Crete. What a lovely welcome we received from Marilena and Janus, the hotel owners. Our room was very well equipped - spacious with 2 large beds, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, air conditioning and a superb shower room (with complementary toiletries). When we opened our shutters in the morning, the view of the harbour and beyond was absolutely beautiful. It was so relaxing spending the early evening sitting on the balcony watching the fishing boats coming and going.

Breakfast is an event in itself. Janus, who is also the chef, is hilariously funny and thoroughly enjoys laughing with his guests. Give as good as you get though! Breakfast is a big affair. As much as you can eat and all served to you with the exception of tea and coffee. All freshly made and served with a massive smile.

This gem of a hotel is so welcoming, a lot of their guests go back every year with some staying for 3-4 weeks! Wish it was me ....

We enjoyed it so much, we’ve already booked for 2019 and we cannot wait to go back.
