In Sougia there are the mosaic remains of a basilica of the first Byzantine period (6C). The remains are of excellent quality, the best of this era on Crete and represent exotic birds (peacocks--signs of immortality), flowers, as well as animals, and other patterns. The recently restored mosaics are in the modern church which has been built on top of them. The key is in a hotel, on the main road in the village, near the Mini-market on the west side.
