Ancient Axos, situated near the present-day village of Axos, holds significant archaeological importance. Initially inhabited during the Pre-Minoan period (3200 BC), it thrived particularly during the Archaic period (800 BC). One of the most notable discoveries at the archaeological site is an inscription featuring a bustraphedon script, which refers to a contract between craftsmen—a precursor to modern-day work contracts from that era.
