97 B.C.

The ancient harbor is now marshland. The Andrakos flows down from its source in the karst rock passing an ancient water-mill and divides the town into north and south. The north town is mainly sand dunes with a still recognizable ruined church. Several buildings in the south town are in good condition including a warehouse, harbor wall, granarium (grain store), temple, market-place, parts of the harbor road, residences, water tanks, a number of churches and chapels. A wall surrounded the whole town and an aqueduct supplied water from the karst spring.

Outside the walls an extensive necropolis lies on the northern slopes behind the nymphaeum. In the southwestern corner two watch towers stand on either side of a protective wall.
