Modern Description: Signposted, a 10-minute walk on a dirt road from the Prodromos (Khostia) Paralia Sarandi main road. Ancient walls, sherds of LH through Roman, beautiful views. The fact that Pausanias does not mention a Chorsiai in this location surprises me, when he does mention Boulis, considerably less interesting and much more difficult of access if correctly identified as the fortress near Zelitsa/Zaltsa.
