	Zakros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The town was dominated by the Palace of Zakros, originally built around 1900 BC, rebuilt around 1600 BC, and destroyed around 1450 BC along with the other major centers of Minoan civilization.
		Zakros is sometimes divided into Epano Zakros (Upper Zakros), the portion higher up on the hillside, and Kato Zakros (Lower Zakros), the part near the sea.
		Zakros was first excavated by D.G. Howarth of the British School of Archaeology at Athens and 12 houses were unearthed before the site was abandoned.

	Zakros
		Kato Zakros consists of few homes and a row of tavernas which line the beach and serve the tour bus passengers who arrive there for the day, attracted by the Minoan palace ruins which can be found about one hundred meters inland.
		Kato Zakros is about a forty-five minute drive from Zakros, but many opt to reach the palace by a two hour trek through the spectacular gorge which connects the two villages and is known as the "Valley of the Dead" because of the cave tombs which are carved on its walls.
		I drove from Zakros and wrapped around the rocky mountain until after one sweeping bend of the road I was confronted with the sheltered bay which served as the safe harbor for the Minoan fleet and modern fishermen alike.

	Zakros
		The palace of Kato Zakros is located at the eastern end of Crete at the slopes of a low rocky hill and surrounded by rugged mountains to the east.
		The Zakros harbor is better sheltered and suitable to host a large fleet of commercial or military vessels, than Palekastro a little to the North.
		Zakros is the smallest of the known Minoan palaces, about five times smaller than Knossos, and its location nearest the commercial destinations of Egypt, Cyprus and the Middle East transcended it to an important hub for economic and military activity.
