Tour of Zominthos, Crete

Here is some background information on the archaeological dig. 

The archaeological site of Zominthos is located in the mountains of central Crete, the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Crete’s geographic position in the southernmost part of the eastern Mediterranean and its natural environment played a definitive role in the birth, development, and character of the Minoans (ca. 3100–1050 B.C.), the first European civilization.


This video is stunning!



I would love to work a season at a dig such as this one.
