| Phaistos-Mires-Gortys-Matala | 
 | We visit the famous Minoan Palace at Phaistos. It stands on a hill at the edge of the Messara plain, which the dominates.
Phaistos was one of the oldest and most important Cretan cities and is second to Knossos in archaeological terms. The dynasty of Rodamanthys is said to have ruled there.
At Mires the capital of the fertile Messara plain, you are free to stroll through the market at your own place.
Gortys was one of the most ancient cities in Crete, which reached the height of prosperity during the Creco-Roman Period.
According to tradition, it was named after Gortys, son of Rodamanthys. There we take a look at the law-code inserted on the wall, written by the Dorians. Then we visit the ruins of the ancient Titus Chapel.
