Kamares, Crete

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kamares is the location of an archaeological site of a Minoan sacred cave in south-central Crete, Greece.[1] The sacred cave at Kamares is slightly offset from a saddle in the Psiloriti Range virtually aligned with the location of nearby Phaistos.[2] Some of the best examples of Middle Minoan pottery have been recovered from the Kamares cave.[3]
