Orkhomenos - Tholos tomb

From the village of Skrípou a road runs north to the site of ancient Orkhomenos, at the east end of the Akontion ridge. In the lower part of the site, near the modern cemetery, the excavators found early circular structures, the tholos tomb already mentioned and two temples. The long triangular area of the site is divided up by two cross walls. At the western tip is the acropolis (alt. 228m/748ft).
