Vathypetro Minoan Villa
Vathypetro Minoan Villa is a country villa with a visible wine press south of Archanes. The wine press gives its rural Minoan architecture a clear production story.

The visible wine press gives Vathypetro a particularly clear agricultural story. Courts, storage rooms and production spaces share the partly completed building, making it possible to see domestic and working functions together. Its rural setting south of Archanes offers a different view of Minoan architecture from the large palace at Knossos.
What to look for
A wine press remains visible.
Courts and storage rooms shape the excavated plan.
Useful to know
Treat it as a separate stop from Fourni and allow for rural road travel.
