The houses uncovered in the urban area date from the Classical and Hellenistic periods. Typically, the rooms were built around an open atrium. The construction was solid, the size of the houses generous.
The Hellenistic house was built in the 2nd century BC. Its excavation began in 1982. The atrium was covered with pebbles, the roof of the house was covered with clay shingles. The walls of two rooms on the north side are partly still well preserved. The massive masonry was plastered, the plaster was then painted (fresco). The painting of the eastern room, which was found in 1983, is the imitation of a stone carving. Depressions in the plaster indicate the individual "cuboids", black and red lines reinforce the optical effect. The room is 7.20 by 5.18 meters. The western room, measuring 4.57 by 5.20 meters, was adorned with a colorful fresco in the Pompeian style.
The Hellenistic House is 200 meters south of the Acropolis.
