These days the village is a protected area because of its beautiful and traditional narrow streets and buildings and some of the treats of a Panormos summer holiday are the visits you can make to see the remains of a Medieval Genoan fort, and the excavations of the 6th century basilica of Agia Sofia. These trips are enhanced by the strolls through the village there and back and the chance to enjoy the views.

A summer holiday to Panormos also makes a great geographical base from where to explore Crete. You can rent a small boat at the harbour and sail the coast for a day or you can hire a car and go forth. One of the journeys to be considered is the short drive high up the face of Mt. Psiloritis to Anogia the village eradicated by the Nazis but completely rebuilt after the invaders left and then on to the spectacular Nida Plateau and the Ideon Cave where myths say that Zeus grew up. A summer holiday to Panormos is an experience of history ancient and modern, factual and mythical.
