Story · Lyctus
You're standing at Lyktos, or what's left of it. High on a mountain, almost in the middle of Crete, this was once one of the island's major cities. Take a look around. From up here it's easy to see the appeal: a safe spot on the heights, well away from both the north and the south coast.
