An ecclesiastical tomb has been found at Ekklisaki, dating from the Third Late Minoan Period. The existence of a cemetery of the Greco-Roman era was ascertained. Specifically, a tombstone with the inscription EKANTIMA AKESTIMA was unveiled.
A building from earlier Byzantine times, also known as Loutra, was also found. In Loutra there is a cruciform space with incandescent, heating pipes and ventilators [1].
