Makriyialos is a modern town and the archaeological site of an ancient Minoan country house in southern Crete. Archaeology The site was first excavated in 1973 and 1977 by Costas Davaras. Makriyialos was in use during Late Minoan IB, and evidence indicates that it may have been used exclusively during this period. The building has a central court on the north-south axis. The area of the court is 6m x 12.5m, which is exactly four times smaller than the courts of the Minoan palaces at Phaistos, Malia, Knossos and Zakros.
