Kissamos
Kissamos ((ギリシア語:Κίσσαμος)) is a town and municipality in the west of the island of Crete, Greece. It is part of the Chania regional unit and of the former Kissamos Province which covers the northwest corner of the island. The city of Kissamos is also known as Kastelli Kissamou and often known simply as Kastelli after the Venetian castle that was there. It is now a port and fishing harbour, with a regular ferry from the Peloponnese via Kythira. A town museum is located in the old Venetian governor's palace and there have been important archaeological finds in the town, including fine mosaics, dating from the Roman city of Kisamos (Κίσαμος, Latinized as Cisamus). The head town of the municipality ((ギリシア語:Δήμος Κισσάμου)) is Kastelli-Kissamos itself.
== History ==
Strabo said that ancient Cisamus was dependent on Aptera and was its naval arsenal.〔(J.A. Cramer, ''A Geographical and Historical Description of Ancient Greece'' (1828), Vol. 3, pp. 364, 379 )〕 The Peutinger Table distinguishes two port towns in Crete called Cisamus,〔(John D. Pendlebury, ''The Archaeology of Crete'' (Biblo & Tannen 1969 ISBN 978-0-81960121-6), p. 21 )〕 Modern Kissamos (at 35°29′38″N 23°39′25″E) is much further west than where Aptera is now placed (at 35°27′46″N 24°8′31″E). It was excluded already by Pashley in 1837 as being, of the two ancient maritime Cretan cities named Kisamos, the one associated with Aptera.〔(Robert Pashley, ''Travels in Crete'' (J. Murray 1837), vol. 1, pp. 49, 55 )〕 In the past, when the port of Aptera was thought to be present-day Kissamos, some supposed Aptera to be identical with Polyrrhenia, and Kissamos to be the port of Polyrrhenia.〔(Edward Falkener, ''A Description of Some Important Theatres and Other Remains in Crete'' (Trübner 1854), p. 26 )〕 However, Strabo and other ancient sources say that Polyrrhenia's port was at Phalasarna on the west coast.〔(Pendlebury (1969), p. 14 )〕〔(J.A. Cramer, ''A Geographical and Historical Description of Ancient Greece'' (1828), Vol. 3, p. 364 )〕
