Lonely Planet review for Karfi
North of Tzermiado, perched on a dramatic rocky hill, is the Minoan settlement of Karfi, a crude refuge for Minoans fleeing the Dorians. You can drive the bulk of the way and walk for about 40 minutes up to the site. Otherwise it takes about two hours to do the 6km climb. Take plenty of water. Follow the signs to the Timios Stavros church (where you need to leave the car) to the well-marked path up to the ruins.
