Itinerary description

Phaistos, or more correctly the Minoan Palace of Phaistos, is located in the Messara Plain in south-central Crete about km from Matala. Phaistos is “Φαιστός” in Greek and you may find it also written as Phaestos, Faistos or Festos.

Phaistos is one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete and a visit to this place is recommended as it is much more quite than Knossos and the location is unique.

Cretan spring is fantastic as the unique flora and the variety of flowers which color intensity is more than stunning.
