What makes Matala Beach – Ancient Phaistos-Faistos & Gortyn – South Crete a unique experience ?
Phaistos, Phaestos, Festos and Latin Phaestus, is a Bronze Age archaeological site at modern Faistos, a municipality in south central Crete. It is notable for the remains of a Minoan palace and the surrounding town.
Remains of the Archaic period (7th century BC) were located in the area of the Acropolis, while the large inscription, the Gortyn Law Code, dated to the 5th century BC, attests the prosperity of the city, which continued throughout the historical times.
Mátala was the ancient port of Phaistos and Gortys and a former fishing community which has developed into a modern holiday center.
