With a panoramic view of the Asia Minor coast, Samos and Icaria, it is no coincidence that this is where the first Ionians built a settlement in the 8th-7th century BC.
It featured a fortified acropolis, a temple dedicated to Athena and a megaron (chieftain’s palace). Outside the acropolis, on the steep slope, are located the ruins of the main settlement, consisting of about 50 buildings ranging from single-room houses to two-storey structures for the wealthy.
