The ancient bridge (about 2000 years old) in Eleftherna, Rethymno countryside,Crete

The Eleftherna region in the prefecture of Rethymno, Crete aims to become the most important tourist destination on the island by capitalizing on the wealth of archaeological treasures discovered in the area, as well as its gleaming new museum.
Also called “Apollonia” at one time, Eleftherna was an Ancient Greek city-state lying 25 km (16 miles) southeast of Rethymno in the Rethymno region of the island of Crete. Archaeologists have carefully excavated the site, which is located on a narrow northern spur of Mount Ida, the highest mountain on Crete.
Professor Nikos Stampolidis, whose name has become associated with the many discoveries made in ancient Eleftherna, as well as the museum itself, focused on the need to link culture with tourism in a recent speech.
After yet more new, fascinating finds were unearthed in ancient Eleftherna, he and other archaeologists have now begun to view this area as the “heart” of Crete.
According to remarks made by Stampolidis at an event organized by the Grecotel group and the Nikos Daskalantonakis Foundation, it now stands as the second major pillar of ancient Cretan civilization, after Knossos and Phaistos.
