This page needs renaming to differentiate from Gortys (Crete) - are the archive images on this page from this site or from Gortys (Crete)

    all our photos + the archive images are from the site on Crete. There is actually no photo of the inland site named Gortys. Cheers, Martin_L

    Perhaps call it Gortyna with alternative name Gortys [done].
