Sites of Historical Interest

In terms of the history of the Asterousia Mountains, it could be briefly said that it is characterized by three elements: time, place, and the humans that connect everything together.

The Asterousia Mountains constitute the cradle of the first leaps of the Minoan civilization; the first great civilization of Europe. The excavated and non-excavated Early Minoan and pre-palatial settlements, shrines, and cemeteries with domed tombs that exist in the mountainous massif of the northern foot of the Asterousia Mountains are all monumental echoes of these leaps.
Lastly, several traditional settlements have been preserved, including holy Monasteries (preserved monuments), Byzantine churches, and classified archaeological sites, such as Asclepieions, the Summit Temple (in Kofinas), and the Aristotle School (the first University of Crete).
