Atsipades is an archaeological site of a Minoan peak sanctuary in western Crete [1]. The peak has its own specific name, Atsipades Korakias [1]. Atsipades Korakias is characterized by twin peaks [1]. The autumn equinox at Astipades can be seen between the peaks [1]. Votives, such as animal figurines, human figurines, and bowls, are often found in rock clefts at Astipades [1]. Atsipades is located above the village Atsipades, Agios Vasilios [1]. Atsipades was used for ancient Minoan religious rites [1].
