The city was mentioned in the Linear B tablets of Knossos as u-ta-no. In Cape Sίderos, seafarers travelling to and from the East worshipped the so-called gods of the Winds, whom they replaced later with the cult of Poseidon.
Itanos had always been a Syrian and a Phoenician intermediary trade station, where Phoenician gods such as Phoenix, Amphiona and Tangawere worshipped.
The location close to Vai and the only palm forest in Europe gives the site a most beautiful setting next to the ocean.
