Exploring Crete's Heart: A Historical Excursion to Kastelli, Pediada!

During the time of Minos, cities like Knossos and Phaistos may have taken the spotlight, but excavations have revealed significant discoveries in various areas of Crete.

If you're keen on playing archaeologist for a day and witnessing the transformation of a region with traditional roots into a hub of modern development, a visit to Kastelli, Pediada is a must, where a new airport for Heraklion is currently under construction.

Aside from its centuries-old history, this notable town boasts several churches worth exploring, including the Venetian-era church of Sotiras or Afentis Christos (Lord Christ).

To wrap up your stroll on a delightful note, don't miss the opportunity to indulge in the famous ‘skepasti’ at Peponi Street Food!
