 The Minoan site of Petras is situated a couple of kilometres east of the modern town of Siteia and it overlooks the sea from the top of a small plateau. The site has been excavated by Metaxia Tsipopoulou since 1985 and she has also been responsible for extensive work in the bay of Siteia whose aim has been to establish the Minoan settlement patterns in the area.
The Minoan township of Petras, with a central building of a palatial character, was almost certainly the main town in this part of northern Crete. The main complex is 2800 square metres in area. The designation "palatial building" is based on finds there which resemble the architectural features of the main Minoan palaces.

 SITIA – The Region
Sitia is located at the eastern side of Crete, at one of the most magnificent corners of Mediterranean Sea.
It is a hospitable place with gorgeous beaches and a history of many centuries. Monuments scattered around travel us deeply into ancient fabulous ages, as Minoan palace of Kato Zakros.
