Vasiliki, Lasithi

[1] It is located about 2 km inland from the north coast of Crete and the Mirabello Bay.

From about 2500 BC onwards, the culture of Vasiliki resembled art elements as other Cretan sites such as Knossos and Trapeza based upon pottery finds.

The site includes houses, many Vasiliki-ware pottery finds and a paved courtyard.

The first examples of Vasiliki Ware are to be found in East Crete during EM IIA period, but it is in the next period, EM IIB, that it becomes the dominant form among the fine wares throughout eastern and southern Crete.

[3] There's another important archaeological site nearby, Priniatikos Pyrgos, roughly contemporary with Vasiliki.
