Kamilari (Greek: Καμηλάρι) is a village on the island of Crete, Greece. There is an archaeological site of an ancient Minoan cemetery nearby, the Kamilari Minoan Tholos tomb and a Roman graveyard [2] at the slopes of the Ovgora hill. The origin of the name 'Kamilari' is Byzantine. It is derived from the word 'kamilaris' or ‘Καμηλάρης’ meaning 'the one who rides a camel' Original owners of the name Kamilari live in Cyprus as Catholic Maronites and are quite active with investments and activities in the area of Kamilari.

Kamilari is built atop three hills:

  • Ovgora, meaning "good view" is the highest one with an altitude of 110m,
  • Goulas is the one with the old school and the Hellenistic findings on top and
  • Alevrota, reachable from the village exit in direction of Sivas.[3][4]

The village and the surrounding places can also be visited via the virtual tour.[5]

Archaeology

The Minoan tholos tomb is on a low hill 1.9 kilometers southwest of Hagia Triada. East of the tomb were five rooms, probably added during Middle Minoan IIIA, and an area for offerings north of these rooms. Here, 500 vases were found upside down. Another 250 vases were found inside the tholos tomb.

Three clay models were found in the Late Minoan IIIA burials. One is of a group of dancers, another is two people standing in front of four seated people, and the third is of a banquet including the Minoan horns "of consecration" and doves. These artifacts are on display at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.[6]

Village amenities

There are numerous villas and rooms to rent. There is a supermarket with a traditional butcher's shop. Fairs are held during the feast-days of the village on 27 July and 6 August.[3]
