Ancient ruins of a once-powerful Roman capital reveal themselves among olive groves at this archaeological wonder. Explore the Law Code inscriptions and Zeus's mythological birthplace nearby at Ideon Cave in the Psiloritis mountains.

Just after the mountain top villages while on the way from Heraklion to Malata I saw this amazing view with what I believe is a farmhouse on the edge of a cliff.. Would likely be even better during sunset.

(I'm not 100% sure exactly where #ontheroad this view is so placed the marker where I think it was)
