Above: Views from the North to the low hill of Zygouries, where Carl Blegen excavated a prehistoric settlement in 1921-22. It was intensively used in the EH II period, then abandoned after a fire and again reinhabited from the MH to the Mycenaean period. - Below: Unfortunately, intensive farming has completely destroyed "one of the most important pre-historical settlements of the Balkans."

Below: On the slope of Ambelakia hill, 500 m West of the prehistoric settlement, was the associated cemetery. But also here, nothing is left.
