Hyrtakina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hyrtakina was an ancient city in western Crete, Greece. Its history is related to the proximate settlement of Lissos, which is also situated in the Agia Eirini Gorge.[1] It has characteristics of other Archaic Period hilltop forts such as Lato, where the founding was based upon achieving a site of safety or refuge.[2]
