Tips
The necropolis of Fourni is located on this plateau in front of Mount Juchtas. It is not freely accessible.
The necropolis was once the cemetery of the Minoan predecessor city of Archanes. Rich grave goods were found here, some of which can be found in the museum in Archanes and some in Heraklion.
The tombs were used for a very long time - from about 2400 BC. to 1200 BC Chr.
Different architectural styles can also be seen here. G. Sakellarakis undertook the first excavations in 1964.translated by
