ARCHAEOLOGY

Ancient Graves

In the location of Chochlakoylia, near Early Christian basilica of Exestratikoy (Archangel Michael and Gabriel), three graves have been found that are maintained in good condition. This group of graves dates back to the 5th or 6th century A.D. and were crafted from soft, porous, volcanic rocks.

Ruins of ancient castle (Ancient citadel)

The ruins are scattered in open ground in the ancient settlement of Kastro with special signs to help in their location. Most of the ruins are scattered but you can still distinguish the existence of a wall at some points.

Some of these scattered stones have been used for footpaths as they contain the soil on the steep inclination, for the building of windmills that was quite common in the settlement of Polin, but also for other buildings after they were easily acquired raw material.
