Vasiliki is an Early Minoan settlement on hill Kastelli near Ierapetra, eastern Crete, occupied from c. 2600 BC and flourishing due to its strategic position controlling the Ierapetra isthmus [1] [2] [3] [4]. The site is renowned for its distinctive Vasiliki Ware pottery, featuring elongated spouts and mottled decoration [5].
