About 5km south of Arhanes, and well signposted, Vathypetro was built around 1600 BC, probably as the villa of a prosperous Minoan noble. Archaeologists discovered wine and oil presses, a weaving loom and a kiln in storerooms. The winepress can still be seen; archaeologists believe Vathypetro to house one of the oldest wineries in the world.
