Description
This image looks down at ruins of the archaeological site Kommos in South Crete. The angle of the image suggests that the site is set within the ground or further down a hill. There are several large stone walls that appear to delineate separate spaces, possibly rooms, with a circular carved stone set within one of the walls. A meter stick has been placed near the center of the image. See all items with this value

Notes
Kommos was a Minoan Bronze Age port that served the nearby palace at Phaistos. The port imported and exported large numbers of pottery across the Mediterranean, particularly from Egypt. The first excavations of the site began in 1976.
