    Open church on the summit.

      Nicer than the main summit, spectacular panorama and nice chapel. Absolute recommendation!

        The name of the highlight is a bit misleading, the actual Minoan sanctuary (or rather the remains of it) are located a few hundred meters further north.

          A look in the chapel is definitely worth it.

            Be careful when driving up to the parking lot!! There is a “level” at which the car could be damaged.
