Step back in time at the Minoan Palace of Phaistos, a sprawling archaeological site with a more intimate feel than its famous counterpart, Knossos. As you wander through the ancient sun-drenched ruins, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Messara plain and the surrounding mountains. The site is quite exposed, so be sure to bring a hat and water to stay comfortable while you soak in over 4,000 years of history.
