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.
