Modern Description: Near the summit of the steep, rock escarpment to the north of the main road, 1500m west of the Géra springs, are the Larissai Petrai—remains of prehistoric ‘Pelasgian' walls, possessing a strategically panoramic view of the Géra inlet. Below, on the face of the cliff, the line of the Roman aqueduct bringing water from the foot of Mount Olympus to Mytilene can be traced cutting almost horizontally across the cliff, about one third of the way up, at the point where the scree stops and the rock face begins.
