Zakros, a Minoan archaeological site, is known for its ancient Palace of Zakro, which was a bustling commercial hub around 1600 BC. The palace, destroyed in 1450 BC along with other Minoan centers, still boasts extensive ruins that attract tourists. Divided into Upper and Lower Zakros, the site also features a ravine called the "Ravine of the Dead" due to the numerous burials found there. Excavations have uncovered artifacts like bronze tools, pottery, and even Linear A inscriptions, shedding light on this fascinating ancient civilization.
