Phaistos palace, the archaeological site, is only 4km away and definitely worth’s a visit. Kamilari has been inhabited since the ancient times, but it is the birthplace of one of the 7 wise men of ancient Greece, Epimenides. The village is built on the top of the hill Evgora. From this site, the residents could have an overview of the enemy to the Messara valley for the Turks and to the Libyan Sea for the pirates. Meaning it was working like a natural fortress and observatory. In a distance of 4 km from Phaistos, outside the village of Kamilari, archaeological excavations have brought to light a vaulted Minoan tomb, one of the most important in the Messara valley.
