Petsofas, Peak sanctuary and mountain site in Sitia Municipality, Greece

Petsofas is a Minoan peak sanctuary on a hilltop in eastern Crete, about 950 metres south-east of the Minoan town of Roussolakkos near Palaikastro. Its core is an irregular terrace wall, two and five metres long from the south corner, enclosing a paved floor of schist slabs and a bench. In the Neopalatial period a two-roomed building was raised over the ash layer, one room preserving a bench about 25 centimetres high and a rough stone lamp.

John Myres excavated Petsofas in 1903 for the British School at Athens, making it the first Cretan peak sanctuary to be systematically dug; Charles Trick Currelly completed the season and roughly doubled the finds. Costas Davaras re-excavated the site in 1971, uncovering two libation tables inscribed in Linear A. The sanctuary was used from Middle Minoan I (c. 2000–1800 BCE) into the Neopalatial period.

The thousands of clay figurines left in a thick ash layer include human worshippers in ordinary clothing, sacrificial animals such as cattle, sheep, dogs and birds, and votive limbs offered in hopes of divine healing. A model of a pregnant woman may have been given for safety in childbirth, and two Linear A libation tables date to the Neopalatial period.

The summit is reached on a two-hour walk that starts from the Palekastro–Chiona Beach road, shortly after Agathias. A partly signposted dirt track crosses an olive grove before narrowing into a mountain path to the top; the sanctuary sits at 231 m, northeast of the ridge's highest point.

Among the thousands of clay figurines left in the ash layer is a model of a pregnant woman, possibly offered by a dedicant hoping for safety in childbirth. The animal figures include cattle, sheep, dogs, birds, wild goats, martens and rhinoceros beetles. Two libation tables inscribed in Linear A came from the Neopalatial deposits found in 1971.
