Epano Archanes is 16km south of Heraklion on the Heraklion - Knossos - Archanes road. The area is a major Minoan site, and in addition contains several Byzantine churches.
The town is in the middle of the vineyard district and exports wine, raisins and grapes --a grape and wine festival is held in July. Archanes is also the location of three on-going archaeological excavations on Minoan sites. You may only view these through fences since they are closed to the public.
