Om
Raske fakta: Stone remnants and ancient mosaics reveal powerful myths and everyday life scenes from Roman and Greek times. Visitors often marvel at the intricate details on a collection of amphorae that were once used to carry wine and oil.
Høydepunkter: An astonishing 7,000 square meters of excavation means nearly every corner uncovers relics like a 2,000-year-old marketplace paved with stones marked for merchant stalls. The site holds the oldest known Roman Odeon in Greece, seating 700 people, with acoustics so natural you can hear the faintest whisper even from the top row.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes since surfaces are uneven with ancient stones.
- Best photo spot is near the Odeon for capturing both the ruins and nearby green hills.
- Avoid weekends to skip local families and tour groups.
- Bring water and a hat in summer, as shade is limited.
