You're standing among the remains of Eleutherna, an ancient city-state on Crete. This is a narrow spur on the northern side of Mount Ida, the highest mountain on the island. Have a look around. To the south, the mountains guard your back. To the north, the way to the sea lies open. No wonder people chose this exact spot.
