Ancient Aptera

Ancient Aptera: Massive Roman Cisterns & A 180-Degree Bay View

4.7 (19)

Ditch the harbor crowds for these clifftop ruins. The massive vaulted Roman cisterns are the real draw—shout inside to test the echoes. Walk past the stone theater to the fort edge for the best view of Souda Bay. It takes about an hour to wander the site; go late afternoon when the sun isn't brutal. If you don't have a car, a private guided tour from Chania is the only way to avoid the uphill hike.
