Anavlochos settlement

Anavlochos is rocky and steep hill east of the gorge of Selinari . At this inhospitable place traces of a post-Minoan settlement (9-6th century BC) with tanks, walls, tombs and sanctuary have been identified.

This settlement belongs to the dozens of settlements of the Dark period of Crete , after the destruction of the Minoan civilization, when settlements were founded on the most inhospitable and inaccessible peaks of the Cretan mountains.
