It's not very spectacular yet, but there is still some work ongoing. Anyways, it's absolutely a visit. Costs 5 euros for adults and free for kids. Small place with residues of roman buildings. There is also a castle in neighbourhood that is seeing. Very interesting Well the visit, lots to see. Also some information about the buildings can be read about. Absolutely must see when visiting the Chania area! A lesser-known ruins, this is a nice place to if you want to see an ruins but not have a huge "touristy" feel. We went in April, maybe in the summer it is busier. We Also visited Knossos in Heraklion in April and it was quite busy. When. We visited Aptera, at the high point there were at most 10 other tourists there. It was lovely! Really interesting site, probably off the radar for most tourists. Spectacular location with views down to Souda Bay and beyond. Nicely explained. Amazingly preserved Greek theatre as well as roman baths and cisterns. Only 4 euro to enter. The theater of Aptera is a remarkable with incredible acoustics that truly transport you back in time. The sense of and the beauty of the surroundings make it an unforgettable experience. Excellent place to if you like history. £10 entry fee, which is well it. Spent about 2.5 hours here. Free parking. Really interesting site, very quiet when we went so great to just explore at your own pace We visited this limestone amphitheatre today (Thu 3rd July 25) and it is amazing! Walking through the olive grove, you can't even see it; then when the olive trees clear, laid out before you is the terraced seating, looking out towards the orchestra and stage. Imagining the architecture of the theatre when it was built and how it was changed over different phases by the Romans is mind-blowing. The floor of the orchestra is compacted dirt, no masonry except one round stone. As we were leaving, we stopped by the ticket booth, to speak to the lady there. She asked if we had tried the echo in the theatre, we said not, so she recommended we go back and try it. We headed back to have a go.... hubby stood on the stone and i sat at the back of the theatre, and I could hear him clearly! The acoustics clearly amplified his voice, but if he stepped back or forward, less clear and he could hear the difference too. If you visit, you really do need to try it; it's unbelievable 😀. To enter here you need to purchase a ticket for the archeological site. There is free parking here and a public toilet. You could the amphitheatre with a wheelchair/pushchair but it would be a very bumpy ride. The toilets would be a struggle for a wheelchair user, but they do have a disabled toilet facility. Captivating Stunning historical with incredible views from the Ottoman fortress. The cisterns and the theatre were atmospheric and fascinating. If you love this will not disappoint as it tells a scenic story of the ages right from antiquity. Lugar precioso. Great place! We spent around 1 hour visiting the entire area and all the ruins, imagining how this must have looked like centuries ago, when it was functional. Take plenty of water with you, to make the more comfortable. It was scorching hot and we were glad to have 1 litre for each of us. The parking area is large enough and free. The cisterns were amazing! I just wished more signs with important information to be placed in the area. Really beautiful, felt quite untouched which was special. Incredible views from the fort (would love to see more inside the fort). A must see if you're in crete The remains of this Greek theater this has amazing acoustics! At the time I visited, there were no other people around, so we could let our imagination flow freely about how it must have been to perform on such a stage. Ervaring om op van > 3000 jaar oud te staan! Excellent to visit, no real restrictions (just a couple for safety) so you really experince the place by walking in their shoes Amazing spot of your into your Roman history. Everything very well preserved and reconstructed . Water collection spots were enormous and very impressive. Think it's definitely a If you're interested in Roman this is a fantastic to visit. The Roman bath houses and the water cisterns are amazing and so well preserved. The amphitheatre (and surrounding pavements) is also fantastic. The view into Souda Bay is an added bonus. Entry is free on the first Sunday of the winter months. Super interessanter Spot. Wir waren vormittags da und hatten die Anlage für uns allein. Walk the paths of your ancestors and get a feel for what it would have been like! We loved this. Make sure you stand in the speaking spot to hear the acoustics!, Fantastic place, well a detour and taking some hours to visit. Renovated clearly with a love and attention. The information about Aptera tells a lot about Cretonian over the ages. And one can only guess what treasures lay still hidden.... Well the and the €4 entry. Watch the video in the main building before visiting the amphitheatre as this helps you to understand what the would have been like. Tgd ground us uneven so I recommend trainers. Great ruins but not hugely amount of information about them.. how did they know it was a Roman bath? How many people lived there? Would have been nice to try and paint a picture of life there then Gorgeous flowers blooming during this visit. This place is such a surprise. Great ruins of the Roman amphitheatre, etc. In a lovely scenic area.
