Comment Kastelli is a hill in the Chania town (Minoan Kydonia) where remains from Minoan period have being identified. In the text written by Alram-Stern a unique number is given for the Kastelli (103);however, in reality two different sites are mentioned: a) the Splantzia ( Lat: 35,51650, Long: 24,02170 ) and b) the Odos Kanevaro/Agia Aikaterini Square (the coordinates I am giving in this sheet is about the latter,on the basis that the text is focusing on that). Finally, I am giving the decimal number because that way it can be used in the Arc G.I.S environment to produce Maps. P.S in the text at pages 2-4 the streets Katre, Varouchon, Plastira-Apokoronou, Tzanakaki, Parko Eirinis kai Filias are mentioned as having minoan remains. No coordinates are given for these; however, it has to be mentioned that the three later were located in a higher point. Finally, at the same area Odos Kanevaro/Agia Aikaterini and Spantzia the minoan settlement of the Late Bronze Age is also located. In that latter period tombs (single or in cemeteries have been found; no coordinates are given)
