Modern Description: 1 km after leaving the settlement of Platanistos, a track leads down steeply into the valley to the right (signed to ‘Anemopilies' and ‘Ag. Konstantinos'). After 1.2 km you reach the site of Ellenikó, which dates probably from the mid 5th century BC. In the middle of the steep fields the corner of some massive, stone terracing rises from the vegetation, constructed in horizontal courses of masonry of varying width. The church of Ag. Konstantinos, further to the west, incorporates ancient blocks and elements in its walls. An inscription from here mentioning Artemis Bolosia is all that we have to help identify the site.
