Explore the Lost City of Aptera

Perched on a hilltop with stunning views over Souda Bay, the ancient city of Aptera is one of Crete’s most fascinating archaeological sites. Once a powerful Greek and Roman city, Aptera thrived for centuries as a major trade and cultural center before being destroyed by an earthquake and pirate raids. Today, it offers visitors a unique glimpse into Crete’s rich history, from ancient Greek walls to well-preserved Roman cisterns and Byzantine remains.

Walking through the ruins, you'll encounter massive stone fortifications, a Greek theater, and remnants of Roman baths that hint at the city's former grandeur. The site also boasts a well-preserved Roman water reservoir, an incredible feat of ancient engineering. At the far end, you'll find a Venetian and Ottoman fortress, which was later used as a military outpost due to its strategic position overlooking Souda Bay.

The blend of historical ruins, breathtaking natural surroundings, and unspoiled views of the Cretan countryside makes the Ancient Aptera Tour a must for history lovers, archaeology enthusiasts, and those seeking a peaceful yet awe-inspiring excursion.
