After having found Gious Kámbos with its richniss of orchids, and other
places rich in orchids as well, we still had one day left in Kerames, and
I thought it were time for a little drip of culture; so we headed toward
the ruins of the ancient city Phaistos, the second largest city of Minoan Crete.
To someone with a more robustly developed interest in archaeology it will
certainly have its charme, but I found it much to manicured to my taste -
I prefer the sites where nature is more allowed to reclaim the area. The
most interesting finds for me were a few bees and a digger wasp...
