    Tips

    October 6, 2022

    A world-class ancient heritage site. This is the "lost city" of Palairos. Dating from around 2-3000 BC in terms if human habitation it was at its peak around 300BC during which formidable fortifications several metres high, over 2 metre wide and stretching over 2.5 Km across the undulating terrain. It is little impacted by the restoration efforts starting in 2000AD. However provided you have good footwear, an able constitution, and some imaginative powers you will be transported back in time most effectively. A particular highlight is the NW gate - climb to the too of the steps beside this and you can view in one glance the entire site of Palairos, the distant Ionian sea and the lake below in the other direction.
