There are traces of Minoan settlements found in several places near Kolymbari, but no systematic excavation has been done yet.
The Turks first landed on Crete here, in 1645, and started occupation of the island. The Greek Army landed here in 1897 to achieve Crete's union with Greece, and this was the reason for the start of the war in 1897 between Greece and Turkey.
Kolymbari also has a large number of important churches and monasteries. |
