Η Άνω και κάτω Ζάκρος του δήμου Σητείας

 Η Ζάκρος είναι χωριό στην ανατολική ακτή της Κρήτης. Διοικητικά υπάγεται στον δήμο Ιτάνου του νομού Λασιθίου. Στην περιοχή βρίσκονται τα ερείπια της αρχαίας Μινωικής πόλης της Ζάκρου και αποτελούν σήμερα σημαντικό αρχαιολογικό χώρο του Μινωικού πολιτισμού. 


Θεωρείται ότι υπήρξε ένα από τα τέσσερα κύρια διοικητικά κέντρα των Μινωιτών, ενώ το προστατευμένο λιμάνι της και η στρατηγική της θέση την κατέστησαν σημαντικό εμπορικό κέντρο για το εμπόριο προς τα ανατολικά.

Στην πόλη κυριαρχούσε το παλάτι της Ζάκρου, το οποίο κτίστηκε το 1900 π.Χ. περίπου, ξανακτίστηκε το 1600 π.Χ περίπου και καταστράφηκε το 1450 π.Χ μαζί με τα υπόλοιπα κύρια κέντρα του Μινωικού πολιτισμού. 


Σήμερα τα ερείπια του παλατιού είναι εμφανή και επισκέψιμα, καθιστώντας τη Ζάκρο δημοφιλή τουριστικό προορισμό.

Η Ζάκρος μερικές φορές χωρίζεται Πάνω Ζάκρο, το τμήμα που βρίσκεται ψηλότερα στο λόφο, και Κάτω Ζάκρο, το τμήμα που είναι κοντά στη θάλασσα. Ένα φαράγγι, γνωστό ως το «Φαράγγι των νεκρών» διασχίζει τόσο το πάνω όσο και το κάτω τμήμα της αρχαίας πόλης και φέρει το όνομά του από τους πολυάριθμους τάφους που βρέθηκαν στις σπηλιές κατά μήκος των πλευρών του.
