Wine Presses for Wine Lovers in Kato Archanes
ABOUT
One could also describe it as ‘the wine village’. Kato Archanes is situated at the entrance of the fertile basin to the west of Mt Yiouchtas.
The houses are nestled amidst vineyards, some of which have attached warehouses and wine presses for wine production.
The streets are paved and filled with the scent of jasmine and lilies.
You can savour local dishes at the tavernas in the area.
A must-visit is Kefala, a reforested area that serves as the only forest recreation park in the region, complete with a theatre that hosts numerous events.
You can also explore Fourni, the renowned Minoan necropolis uncovered by archaeologists G and E Sakelarakis.
