Archeological Site of Kommos

The archaeological site of Kommos, located in southern Crete, in the region of Messara and very close to the famous beach of Matala, is one of the most important archaeological finds of the island. It was a vital port connecting Crete with Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean from the Minoan to the Roman period. \n\rYou will see the ruins of large Minoan buildings, probably warehouses and customs offices, which reveal the organization of the port. An important find is the sanctuary that dates back to the Late Bronze Age and continued to be used for centuries. Altars and votive objects were found here. Ruins of Roman baths have also been excavated in the area, testifying to the continuous occupation of the site.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
