In the Akrotiri peninsula and over the hill of Prophet Elias, are the Tombs of Venizelos. Eleftherios Venizelos had expressed a desire to serve this site the last resting place. Thus, in 1936 there was built a tomb.
Later, in 1965 opposite the tomb of Eleftherios Venizelos, was erected and the grave of his son Sophocles, who was Prime Minister of Greece from 1943 until 1952.
Just beside the tombs erected the statue of Liberty. It is a stone statue, which symbolizes the struggle of the Cretans for freedom.
The graves of two men, visited every year crowd. The surrounding area is landscaped with a lovely garden, seating, and park and stone streets
