Kato Zakros is an
impressive
little traditional fishing village,
hidden away in the
southeast corner of Crete. The beautiful tamarisk-fringed pebble beach
hosts several excellent fish tavernas where visitors can sample local
delicacies in attractive surroundings. The area is also home to a
Minoan
Palace, which is one of the most significant archaeological sites on the
island. Some keen walkers may want to explore the “Valley of the Dead”,
which leads down from Pano Zakros to the sea at Kato Zakros. Although the
village attracts many visitors during the day, Kato Zakros becomes
peaceful towards the evening, and offers an ideal setting for those trying
to escape from the bustle of daily life.
