Lissos, Archaeological site near Sougia, Greece
Lissos archaeological site extends across a small valley between mountains and sea, featuring ancient temple ruins, tombs, and Byzantine churches.
The city operated as a primary port for Elyros from the 3rd century BC to the 7th century AD, maintaining naval power through trade and fishing.
The Temple of Asklepius contained thermal baths and received patients from across Crete seeking medical treatments at its natural spring.
Visitors can reach the site by taking a two-hour hike through Lissos gorge from Sougia or arranging boat transportation with local fishermen.
The necropolis contains 120 preserved stone-built vaulted tombs, while the site exhibits mosaic floors depicting animals and geometric patterns.
