Tavern The Aptera

Grill - taverna Nikos

Koumos
Local history museum
🫤 Too high entry price. 5eur/person is not worth it. Yes, it looks good, but not for that price. There are plenty of free or cheaper and more astonishing views or objects to visit in Crete. There is a free parking lot. You can see a few objects for free, but that's about it. Only if You like it at the...

There's no time limit on how long you want to take to explore, so you can let your mind cast back to what it must have been like in ancient times and wonder at how many people have trodden the...
