I still say, it is not a graveyard - I say, it was a kindergarden! Everywhere little sleeping cabins in the ground - at 40 degrees definitiv does makes sense - some bigger rooms, where you can sit around and have your meal - if you are a pretty little person - and some celebrations areas at the top. A groundplan like a gym bag filled with ribs and a backbone does makes a really fantastical sentence about the mind of the old minoan people - or who even knows cretan.. but who cares, I am not a scientific archaeologhical specialist, and so I just can say: An impressive place, where you can have a deep view into a very different time! Some parts of the architectonicals are looking in my eyes additional like impressed by the old egypts - where is a big and deep contact to known today. But, I am not a specialist! Worth to have a look for, worth to walk and watch around,...

Ich habe selbst als Student bei einer archĂ€ologischen Ausgrabung mitgearbeitet und bin grundsĂ€tzlich interessiert. Von daher ist meine Bewertung eher nicht objektiv. Ich finde es da hochinteressant und könnte da meinen ganzen Urlaub verbringen. Insbesondere die Tatsache, dass die zum Friedhof gehörige Siedlung noch nicht gefunden wurde, finde ich spannend. Aber vielleicht geht man auch einfach von einer falschen Voraussetzung aus. Es könnte ja auch ein zentraler BegrĂ€bnisort sein, vielleicht ein Heiligtum in der Umgebung, ohne eine grĂ¶ĂŸere Ansiedlung. Da wĂŒrde ich gerne mitarbeiten.... . Als wir dort waren, waren gerade einige ArchĂ€olog-inn-en tĂ€tig und gaben gerne Auskunft. Einige der GrĂ€ber sind schon ziemlich groß und zugĂ€nglich und fĂŒr ein bisschen Gruseleffekt sorgt Mutter Natur in Form von interessanter Fauna in den GrĂ€bern. So einen riesigen TausendfĂŒĂŸler o.Ă€. hatte ich nie zuvor gesehen. Man darf nicht zuviel erwarten, es sind nicht die Pyramiden von Gizeh. Aber gerade diese relative Einfachheit macht den Reiz dieses malerisch unter Eichen liegenden Ortes aus. Und gleichzeitig bewundern wir, wie diese Menschen vor einigen Tausend Jahren sich bemĂŒhten, ihre Toten mit einer angemessenen BegrĂ€bnisstĂ€tte zu ehren. Erstaunlich war der geringe Eintritt fĂŒr mich. Und dann haben sie noch saubere und akzeptable Toiletten, die man hier nicht erwarten wĂŒrde. Schwierig ist es allerdings fĂŒr Gehbehinderte und auf Kleinkinder sollte man auch gut aufpassen, denn die GrĂ€ber und ihre ZugĂ€nge sind nicht gesichert. Angemessenes Schuhwerk ist empfehlenswert, also nicht unbedingt Badelatschen. Nachtrag drei Jahre spĂ€ter: wie ich auf den Bildern von nachfolgenden Besuchern sehen kann, hat sich inzwischen Einiges getan: tiefere GrĂ€ber wurden gesichert, Hinweisschilder angebracht und die Wege verbessert. Schön. Auf einem der Schilder kann man lesen, dass eine Straße entdeckt wurde, die offenbar zu der bestehenden Siedlung K. fĂŒhrt, die damit wohl minoischen Ursprungs ist. Ich behalte...

Its an imposing cemetery site of the late Mycenaean age. This practically means that this site dates back to 3.5 thousands of years ago. Archeologists excavated 500 selections and discovered 200 tombs. In two of those you can walk, not much to see but, just to inhale the history of you ares into that 😁 Some parts of the site have been locked out with fence so, it might MAYBE mean they will open additional discoveries
 Ticket is 3 euros. Not sure if it’s justifiable though.

A late Minoan necropolis with stunning tombs some big enough to house the living. The tombs are reminiscent of similar ones you might see in mainland Greece as by that time Greek culture was changing the ancient customs of the Minoans. The site is quite extensive and you need at least an hour to walk the many pathways and descent into the world of the dead. The place is especially beautiful in Spring when a multitude of colourful flowers carpet the site.

It’s hard to give this five stars, as it just isn’t as impressive as a Greek auditorium or temple. This is a bunch of holes in the ground (and some pretty involved underground structures) where people were buried many years ago. Cool to see it, but wasn’t “epic”. I would be surprised if you could spend more than 45 minutes here, but maybe I have attention span issues :)
