Gortys. Crete. Greece. Part view of the remains of a Roman aqueduct at the archaeological site of Gortyn. This aqueduct supplied water from Zaros, 15 kilometres away, for the city and its numerous fountains and nymphaeums. The vast Greco-Roman ruins of Gortyn or Gortys, a former ancient capital of Crete, are scattered among fields and olive groves in the middle of the Messara plain in the prefecture of Iraklio. Crete is Greece’s largest island and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean.
