Customer Reviews
He had a virtual guide that showed us how the sites we were walking through could look like when they were built. Such a cool thing. The site itself really nice, open. The views are amazing.
Went when it was free, worth it. One of the nicer archaeological sites of this civilisation. Some boards available to read about. Didn't visit museum as I came close to closing. Good view from the top
This archeological site is okay. Please note that the entry of 20€ for this site also includes the entrance to the treasury near by, which I recommend more than this site. You don't need to pay for it twice. This archeological area in particular is fairly big but as with a few greek sites, this one doesn't seem well conserved. It's ending up to be just stones and requires a lot of imagination for the entry price. The paths around the archeological site cross over some of the old wall structures, so you have to walk on top of the ruins. Which is a little weird as more people walk over them, more will it damage. I also spotted some asian tourists walking on top of some of the archeological ruins, areas clearly excluded and even taking some little stones from these ruins. With no security or anyone controlling this. Unfortunately, if the sites are treated this way, they won't last another century. A great thing is the nature around the site, is really beautiful.
