ARCHAEOLOGY

The district of Chania is rich in ancient towns and monuments from all periods of civilisation. Proof of this are the Minoan tombs in Maleme and Kournas as well as towns such as Aptera, Lissos, Polirrinia, Eliros, Irtakina and Falassarna. Greek-roman monuments such as the bridge of Vrisses, the town Mithimna and the sacred Dictyna (where the goddess Vritomartys was worshipped) are some of the places that await any interested visitor.
