Tylisos, GR
Get Directions
With its name remaining unchanged for 40 centuries, Tylisos experienced its greatest prosperity as a Minoan settlement between 1650 and 1200 BC.
The three luxurious mansions excavated here have revealed close links to Knossos, while the rich finds (including three huge bronze cauldrons, unique in prehistoric Aegean) indicate that it was an important bronzeworking centre.
