Vandring
Phalasarna possessed an enclosed artificial naval harbor, called the Kothon (high, bulbous jug) in antiquity, which was connected to the sea by a canal running westward. It was hewn out of the coastal cliffs, measuring 100 x 75 meters. A second canal provided access 100 meters behind the north side of the acropolis. As a fortification, the harbor had four towers dating from the 4th century BC, parts of which are still preserved. A major earthquake on July 21, 365 AD, which caused the landmass at Phalasarna to rise by six to nine meters, drained the harbor basin.
