The position for Hagia Triada (‘Ag. Triada’, DARMC location 1977, ID: 589672) on Crete which is given as 35.056542, 24.794890 would be much improved if moved to 35.059153, 24.792713 (Source: KMZ)
By the way, DARMC location 1976 (‘Ag. Triada’) might be an ancient place (it doesn’t look like it) but its lat/longs are reversed at http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/540596/darmc-location-1976. Right now it’s in Arabia which could be what you mean but there’s nothing obvious there. When I reverse the lat/longs and replot I get a location in Euboea which is much more likely but there’s nothing obvious there except fields. Perhaps DARMC 1976 is meant to be the town of Triada at 38.581358, 23.712284. If so the marker appears to be out by nearly a mile.
