	Myrtos
		Myrtos was voted as the number one beach by the public the last few years in the internet survey contacted by thalassa.gr.
		We found Myrtos to be an excellent beach (one of the best we have seen in Greece) well worth a trip out of the way to experience its waters.
		Myrtos is a very wide beach however and the rocks would never reach the part of the beach where most people sunbathe.

	The Early Minoan Period:The Settlements
		More recently, the excavator has reported the Myrtos destruction dates to be 2850-2305 B.C. One possible reason for the foundation of the site in EM IIA is a population rise in central Crete which caused expansion to the east and the foundation of numerous settlements there (including Vasiliki).
		Thus Myrtos appears quite closely comparable in terms of size, population, and length of occupation (three to four generations) to the typical Cycladic settlement of the Early Bronze Age (see preceding handout).
		Myrtos was never reoccupied; Vasiliki continued to be a village for centuries but never again produced complexes as impressive as the Red and West Houses.

	Dream Beaches of Greece
		Secondly, Myrtos is surrounded by 500 foot high cliffs on three sides providing an illusion of seclusion you share with a few select fortunate souls.
		Myrtos being larger is not situated in such close proximity to the cliffs so this is typically not a concern.
		Both Myrtos Beach and the beach at Porto Katsiki must be considered two of the great beaches of the world.

	Myrtos, Travel Info.
		With each season Myrtos takes a different look; the winter, a regular rainy season, can be paradise for the tourist seeking warm weather (temperatures range from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius) and peaceful quiet surroundings.
		All local and foreign visitors have gone home, and the swallows have returned; the tourist industry has shut down and the villagers now turn to their traditional life style of harvesting the olives, picking the oranges and drinking raki at the local cafes.
		The village is now filled with local and foreign tourists for long endless days of swimming, sunbathing, fishing, boating, and fun! Walking on the sea front at dinnertime you can experience the animated and often "explosive" talk of the Greeks in a wonderful contrast with the more "quiet" dinning of the multi-nation visitors.

		After Myrtos Pyrgos, we traveled to the seaside town of Sitea for the night.

		Myrtos Pyrgos is located at the top of tall hill from which one can see a beautiful rocky coastline, a towering mountain range, and a peaceful valley.

		This is where you find Myrtos beach, Fiskardo, the traditional village of Asos, and the ferries to Ithaca, which lies just a few hundred meters off the coast of Cefalonia.
		Built around a smallish natural harbor on the northeastern tip of Kefalonia, and surrounded by cypress, fir, and olive trees, the small fishing village of Fiskardo has become a major tourist magnet in the last 15 years, and an August hotspot for European yacht vacationers.
		The road is clearly marked and it is highly recommended, since it runs above Myrtos beach and follows a breathtaking run along the side of a dramatic cliff that drops about 450 meters (1,500 ft.) to the sea below.

	Myrtos Beach
		Myrtos is the most photographed beach in the whole of Greece, and as you approach it on the mountain road its easy to understand why - the incredible colours of the sea contrast with the dramatic sweep of coral white sand.
		Down at ground level, once you've negotiated the road down from Divarata, Myrtos itself is a bit of a disappointment.
		There are no facilities other than a fairly basic drinks outlet, and the beach itself is grubbier than it appears from above.

		However the sand stops at the water line and small pebbles take over so tender feet may need protecting with sandals.

	American Journal of Archaeology / Article Abstract
		Of the various sites that are thus identified as possibly falling within the territory of Malia, the relatively distant site of Myrtos Pyrgos stands out by virtue of its abundant deposits of pottery, showing very strong stylistic similarities with Maliote pottery.
		In this study detailed comparisons of the MM IIB pottery from Myrtos Pyrgos and Malia (Quartier Mu) are presented, integrating typological, stylistic, technological, and compositional data.
		It emerges that indeed much of the fine tableware is so close as to be practically identical; it is, nevertheless, made locally at each of the two sites.

	Fournou Korifi
		This extremely important Early Minoan site is situated on the top and upper slopes of a steep hill, overlooking the Libyan sea, a few hundred metres from the present-day village of Myrtos and even closer to another Early Minoan site, Pyrgos, which lies between Fournou Korifi and the modern village.
		It is important because it belongs to only one period of Minoan history -- EM II -- and therefore gives vital information about this period which may not be so readily available at other sites where EM II deposits cannot be so clearly defined.
		Despite claims that the Minoans lived in peace and did not need to build fortifications, it is interesting to note that Fournou Korifi, like Pyrgos and Trypiti -- also on the south coast -- is built on the top of a small, but steep, hill with good views in both directions along the coast.

	Minoan Sites of the Godddess in Eastern Crete
		At Nea Myrtos, about 2km east of the village before you get there, there are two remote Minoan sites on two hilltops, overlooking the sea.
		Outside the house were the remains of a two-storey communial tomb, and the whole place had the feel of a settled and peace-loving people, at one with the Goddess in their hilltop sanctuary by the sea and overlooked by the mountains.
		After this visit, and an afternoon on the beach at Myrtos to cool off, we ventured back in the cooler evening to the other Minoan hilltop site at Phournou Koryphi.

	The Minoan Site of Pyrgos, Myrtos, Crete (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		The valley that Myrtos lays in has been continuously inhabited for some 4000 years and Pyrgos shows evidence not only of Minoan settlement but also later Greek and Roman inhabitation too.
		However, unlike a lot of other sites, Pyrgos never enjoyed a post-Mycenaean resurgence, and it appears that many of the inhabitants may have either been killed or fled permanently to the site of Phournou Koryphi some three miles to the east.
		When the site itself was excavated in the 1970s, some seventy single-room houses were found, nestled on all four sides of the hills, as well as several public spaces on the south side of the summit and the western side.
