ancient aptera印象
-
They did a lot of restauration but more need to be done. Fantastic views over the valley and if you are prepared to climb a lot, you find more.
-
Learnt so much about the history of Crete. Site was untouched and easy to walk round. closed Mondays
-
Maybe it just a matter of expectations built on previous reviews ,but I found this site pretty boring. Crete has other gems in its territory.
-
Closed on the day of the week we chose to go, so check their web site. We still got to walk around and experience the atmosphere. Pretty cool place. Kind of a drive and nothing around to eat or drink, so bring snacks.

Crete has many amazing ruins to visit and Ancient Aptera is one to put on your list. It is a short drive from Chania, Kalyves or Almyrida. The ruins are well preserved, particularly the Roman cisterns. The site is expanding as new ruins are being uncovered so not everything was open yet when I visited. Don't forget to drive over to the Roman fortress also while you are there. As others have mentioned, there is no food on site but there is a great taverna in modern Aptera as you are heading towards the highway. Excellent food and ambience!

Just a short drive from Chania city, 15 minutes, Attraction does not have drinks or snacks on site, so bring your own basket.Very scenic views of the valley and the port entrance area, and much historical for the Roman era of fortresses and building layouts

Came across this by accident, but worth the trip a huge ancient city (BC) and well preserved. Bit uneven underfoot in places

This is a big site with most of the city lying unexcavated in nearby olive groves. The city was originally Greek and was later taken over by the Romans. There are impressive remains of massive Roman water cisterns. The biggest public buildings are the bath houses. As you climb the hill towards the site you pass the main gateway to the city where tombs were also found. At the time of writing the theatre was not open to the public. As you enter the site head first for the restored monastery building where there is a display of photographs which give information about the excavations and finds. You can also pick up an information leaflet. Note that the site is closed on Mondays.Near to the site is a restored Turkish fort and the bases of German gun emplacements from World War II. Three kilometers from Aptera on the road to Stilos a small Minoan settlement has been excavated which includes an impressive tholos tomb.

Excellent site good information boards (in Greek and English) due to it's layout you get a good sense of what it was like when it was an active city. Good little poster display giveing archeological background. Shame the theatre wasn't accessable. The site is exposed and no refreshments available so if you are visiting in the height of summer take water.
