Vothoni Roman Fish Tanks

Vothoni Roman Fish Tanks
Vothoni Roman Fish Tanks5.0 (1)

Located at Vothoni of Kakia Skala, in the province of Ierapetra, you can find the Roman fish tanks carved by the Romans into the soft sandstone, featuring a small opening to the sea to allow fresh water to flow in. There are also some steps in one corner.

It is not difficult to envision a housewife from that time standing on top, pointing, and exclaiming, “I want that one!” This historical site is truly impressive and well worth the effort to visit.
