Interior courtyard of Seager's house in Pacheia Ammos

Pacheia Ammos was the home of the American archaeologist Richard B. Seager who excavated at many of the sites in the area (including Mochlos, Pseira, Sphoungaras, Vasilike, and Pacheia Ammos) in the early 1900s. The village is located on the north coast in eastern Crete, on the main highway that runs from Chania to Vai.
