Dimylies Winepresses
A winemaking complex is preserved in a prominent position at “Dimylies” site, overlooking the fertile valley N.E. of Skalani, close to a rural road. It consists of two covered winepresses, with dimensions 2.80m x 3.30m and preserved height 2.11m on the inner side. The trough is artistically carved, with a stone edge 1.60m x 0.75m. Nearby there are buildings, one of which is 6.87m long.
The good construction of the winepress and the trough indicates that this installation probably was export-oriented since the port of Heraklion was relatively close and the access to it was easy.
Karteros River valley stretches towards the east and northeast; it has fertile soil and a lot of water.
