The area is finished (funding has been used up), but it is not maintained and is littered. The goats use it daily.

The way up is very steep, but you are rewarded with a great view.

Under almost every old tree there is a picnic area with tables and benches, as well as fire pits and a few taps with fresh, cold spring water.

The door is simply closed, so it's definitely worth taking a look inside the small chapel (just don't look behind the door😕).

So far, archaeologists have found a huge and luxurious building, which has an area of 1360 square meters, built of local stone and consists of 80 rooms. The walls of the two or three-storey building were plastered with clay for insulation and decorated with wall paintings. Another small Mycenaean building was discovered nearby. It is striking that such a large complex operates at an altitude of 1200m, although it is believed that it was closed in winter due to snow.
