The Ancient Minoan Site of Gournia in Lassithi Crete: The archaeological site of Gournia is placed about 20 km to the south-east of Agios Nikolaos, on the road to Ierapetra town.

PLATEAU OF LASSITHI
Recreation
45 kms
The Lassithi Plateau (approx. altitude 1000 m) is well known for the thousands of white sailed windmills, 10000 in all, this is how the plain used to be irrigated, a scenic way of supplying water, designed by Venetian engineers in 1464. Although very few windmills are in use today, it still makes a splendid sight against the mountains. The fertile soil of the Lassithi Plateau is mostly growing potatoes and apples. There area also many almond trees which blossom in late January, giving the plateau a wonderful appearance. People have inhabited Lassithi since Neolithic times (6000 B.C.) except for a period of 200 years during Venetian rule. The Venetians could not control the inhabitants of Lassithi because of its position in the mountains, so, once the pople were relocated, they forbade the plateau to be inhabited under penalty of death. You may circle the plateaum visiting its villages along a paved road. A visit to The Dikti Cave, said to be the birthplace of Zeus is well worth a visit while here. (See separate description).

A new Palace was built on the same site only to be severely damaged from an earthquake 100 years later. The ruins wre found and partially reconstructed by Sir Arthur Evans.

The second major Minoan Palace in Crete after Knossos. It controlled a fertile plain that of Messara. Like Knossos it was the center of religious and economic activities and its importance lies not only in its size but in the fact that we have there a clear stratigraphical sequence of two successive palaces. This is a great consequence for our understanding of Minoan history and for our reconstruction of the major phases of Minoan civilization.
