Armeni (archaeological site)

Armeni is the archaeological site of an ancient Minoan cemetery on Crete, roughly eight kilometers south of the modern town of Rethymnon.

The walls of the dromos have been cut in such a way that they are closer to each other at the top than they are at the bottom, probably to help bear the weight of the earth above.

One tomb's walls are lined with stone benches cut directly from the rock.

Clay larnakes, a type of small coffin, painted with double axes, hunting scenes, and Horns of Consecration were also excavated.

The site is open to tourists, including entrance into several of the main rock-cut tombs.
