Modern Description: The ancient city of Aigai in Achaia, mentioned by Homer and sacred to Poseidon, was thought by later writers to have been near the river Krathis in Achaia. In the 1990s, the stone base and a number of courses of mudbrick were found of a stretch of fortification wall on a sloping terrace N of the modern settlement of Ampelos and SW of Goumeika. This is a possible location for the city, and the whole hill is now an archaeological zone. It is unclear if anything is visible currently to visitors.
