The Messara region is rich in both history and natural beauty. Highlights include Phaistos, the Minoan palace of South Crete; Matala, the scenic village known for caves once inhabited by 1970s hippies; and the archaeological sites of Gortyna, Kommos and Agia Triada.
Spili, a nearby mountain village known for its lion-mouthed fountains and surrounding nature, and Zaros, home to a well-known lake and one of Greece's best-known bottled water brands, are both worth a visit.
