On the side of the museum, starts the road to the entrance of the archaeological site, or maybe i should call them archaeological excavations.
When we got at the site, we saw more archaeologists than visitors and things did not change much even after a couple of hours when we finished our tour.

I admit that probably I over did it with pictures of archaeologists at work, i apologize! 🙂 I just find it very interesting to be there when they find a new object and they start to brush away the dust, trying to understand what it may be… Anyway, i’ll continue with the images from the rest of the site 🙂
Archaeologists aside, the site is really interesting. They pretty much resurrected an entire city, which appears to have been founded in 369 BC in an area which, however, is supposed to be already inhabited from the 3rd millennium BC.
| Views of the city streets. To the right the sanctuary of Asclepius, the god of medicine, which was also used as a hospital. |
| L ‘Ekklesiasterion: the place for the ekklesia meeting (People’s Assembly). In modern greek Ekklisia means church. |
| Stadium and Gymnasium. |
Last, this is the parking in front of the site, where you can find a bit of shade. I believe you can also sleep here without problems, even if it is a little isolated.
