TRIP - Zaros Lake and FAISTOS

 Zaros Lake and Faistos Palace

Zaros lake is a long drive from Apokoronas area.

Counting 2.5 hours from Kalyves, with many curves.


The lake is quite small, there is one tavern selling fish meals but it's closed in winter.

It's one artificial lake, with schools of carps and groups of turtles EVERYWHERE !

From the lake starts a walk into the gorge and towards te St. Nicolas monastery. Unfortunately , weather didn't allow to complete the walk.





Faistos is not as magnificent and impressive in size and colours as Knossos.

Despite there arent many columns ahead or either intact frescos, you get an overview of the area of the palace with queen and kings suits and chambers.
