Modern Description: After Potós (42km) the landscape becomes rougher and more unforgiving. The road which leads 9km inland from here to Theologos, is still bordered by venerable olive groves; but before the fires of 1985, the upper slopes of the hills were also much more densely wooded. In this area, at a site called ‘Kastrí' (reached by a 4.5 km path from a signposted turning to the west just before entering Theologos) excavations have brought to light an important Bronze Age and Geometric Age settlement, which was continually inhabited from c. 1300 BC, up until its abandonment at the end of the 8th century BC.
