The ancient city extends over Palaiokastro hill, while remains of the harbour structures are visible in the sea, below the Thessaloniki-Kavala motorway. A section of the paved road (l. approx. 25 m) linking the city to the harbour is preserved. Parts of the city wall, remains of houses and streets (late 7th-mid - 4th century BC) have been uncovered on the hill.
The finds are exhibited in the Kavala Archaeological Museum.
