of Itanos with 800 habitants. It is 20 kilometers away from Palekastro.

the "spring of life" for the economy of the area. Agriculture and the cultivation

the springs and crystal waters that have ceaselessly run for centuries making
fertile the land that kindly shares its bounty.
This is also the starting point of the famous Canyon of Zakros, cutting
through the tall mountains and ending up at Lower Zakros, next of the rubble of
the Minoan Palace (forth largest Minoen settlement in size). Thousands of objects
have been discovered, masterpieces of the Minoan art. They are decorating the
