Ancient Aigiali
Αρχαία Αιγιάλη
🎟️ Free entry
The northern one of the island's three ancient cities, on the slope below Tholaria above the bay of Aegiali. There is less standing here than at Minoa — wall lines, terraces, cut blocks reused in field boundaries — but the position explains the choice, looking straight down the only sheltered anchorage on this coast. Easy to take in on the walk between Aegiali and Tholaria.
