Myrsini: A Stunning Vista Awaits!

ABOUT

Visitors to the picturesque village of Myrsini are treated to a magnificent panorama of Mirabello Bay.

Myrsini beckons with centuries of history, boasting discoveries such as Minoan tombs in Chalinomouri and Galana Charakia, and an ancient cemetery in Asprospilia rich with significant findings. Additionally, the ruins of a Minoan fortress have been unearthed in Kastelos.

The village itself holds a rich history, evident in the chapel of Agios Antonios where an inscription dating back to 1766 bears the name Vitsentzos Kornaros. Adjacent to the chapel stands the recently restored Kornaros Tower, a Venetian Turkish tower of historical significance.
