Komos - History by the sea

Komos is a largely unspoiled stretch of sand, mainly because it's development is hampered by a large archeological site



Komos was a Minoan port serving the nearby settlements of Faistos and Gorton


It had large buildings and temples as well as the usual buildings associated with a port



It was a large settlement



The nearby beach is long and sandy, with a couple of small tavernas on the Matala side


The site is not currently open to the public unfortunately

  1. It doesn't seem to have changed much since we were there a couple of years ago. Yet the Americans were supposed to be excavating it and opening it to the public. They had great plans and gave a very informative talk at Cretan Corner.
